Hello kumarpiush. Welcome to Collectors Weekly, Clocks.
Your heirloom is Ansonia's "Kirkwood". It was one of three clocks from their "K" Assortment. The other two models were named the "Kensico" and the "Kenmore".
They were offered in Oak or "Dark" Wood and are from circa 1901. Your particular clock could have been manufactured several years before or after that date.
Depending upon the configuration of the clock (strike, gong, alarm) this model originally sold for somewhere between $4.25 and $5.05. It would be roughly about $150 in 2020 when adjusted for inflation.
Here's another example online: https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/antique-ansonia-kirkwood-mantel-clock-c-1900
There are quite a few examples you can find online. It must have been a very popular and successful model for Ansonia.
Nice clock. It looks like it has been well cared for. Thank you for sharing it with us.

P.S. If that solves your mystery, please indicate "Mystery Solved" in your listing. If you have more questions, please feel free to ask away.
Thanks again.

Thank you Bruce. Do you have any idea what will be the current market price if the clock is in good working condition
Hi.
I would guesstimate $150 give or take $50.
Here's a recent eBay sold listing for this model ($115). It will eventually disappear but it should still be active for a few months.
