(from wholesale catalogue, c.1904)
It is interesting to note that the catalogue drawing shows the hand to the face of the figure, but the production statue's hand is lower, below the chin. Though not shown here, the original catalogue had a second drawing of this statue with a "can-type" movement that shows the hand in a slightly lower position but still clearly on the face.)

This is one of the more highly sought after Ansonia "swingers". It's beautiful and ready to move to a "good home" (not that it's not in one already)!
Physical: The 28" high spelter case with 4.5" diameter ball appears to have the original finish on the statue that has been overcoated with tint. The cobalt blue ball has been refinished at some point in the past. It's a very pretty clock
Mechanical: The eight-day time-only swing movement has recently been serviced and is in excellent running condition. The (file) photo below is representative of the movement in this clock with a counter-weight pendulum inside.

Comments: Great clock that will enhance any place where it resides. We have one in our kitchen window that immediately attracts attention of all who visit our home. Perhaps this one will end up in a similar place in your home? Call us to start the process... but don't let the soup boil over!

Here is a cute little clock that was in the 1950 catalogue. It is reminiscent of the early American pillar and scroll clocks of Eli Terry and many others. Nice thing about this clock is that it doesn't take up too much space, so will fit nicely almost anywhere.
Physical: The petite mahogany case, which measures 20"h x 10.5"w x 5.125"d, is in excellent original condition with original finish and paint on the case and dial. Solid brass finials and the pendulum are original, too.
Mechanical: The eight-day time-and-rod-strike movement has been professionally serviced and is in excellent running condition.
Comments: Nice clock for not a lot of money...

Here is another beautiful Ansonia clock created by the famous and sought-after Royal Bonn porcelain works in Germany, c.1904. This particular design was made in numerous colors and was also available with a Dutsch scene on the front.
Physical: The porcelain case, which measures 15"w x 14.5"h x 5"d is in excellent physical condition without breaks or repairs. The 5" porcelain dial is also in excellent original condition. The case bears the Royal Bonn signature on the back.
Mechanical: The eight-day, time-and-strike (gong) movement was professionally serviced in late 2012 and is in excellent running order.
Comments: Many of the green-colored cases from Royal Bonn tend to be a yellowish-green-lime color; this one's a much deeper and prettier shade of green. Its condition speaks for itself. Now you need to speak up and tell us you have just the place to put it!

Here is one of the sought-after Ansonia clocks in a porcelain case signed both "Royal Bonn" and "Delft". The history of each of these firms is linked in the previous sentence and makes for interesting reading material. It is interesting to note that Royal Bonn made numerous pattern configurations for most Ansonia models as you can see here with the floral catalogue design; but even that design was likely made in multiple colors/configurations and with different dials as you can see here.
Physical: The porcelain case is in exquisite original condition. It measures 7.5"w x 15"h x 5"d. The tiny 3.5" diameter porcelain dial is in excellent condition and has floral designs between the numerals. The hands are correct and original. There is a slow/fast adjustment arbor above the numeral 12.
Mechanical: The movement has been recently professionally serviced and is in excellent running order.
|
Comments: We strive to find great items at fair prices for our clients. This model was recently seen in a very high-end antique center priced at $3,250. Ours is a little more reasonable... and waiting for your call.

Fancy Ansonia Royal Bonn “ La Vendee ”, c.1904
Open Escapement Model
Here is another unusual Ansonia Clock Company high-end Royal Bonn we've not seen before. The original catalogue price was $17; it's a bit more expensive today. In its 1896 catalogue, Ansonia describes the series of "porcelain decorated clocks", the cases of which they imported, as follows:
"Imported, Hand Painted and Gold Decorated Cases, Fitted with the Ansonia Clock Company's Eight Day, Half-Hour Strike, Cathedral Gong on Sounding Board, Round Polished Brass EScapement Movement, Ruby Pallets, Rack Strike, with Patent Regulators and Striking Parts, and Either Porcelain or Gild Dials."
Physical: The high-quality German "Royal Bonn" porcelain case is in excellent condition and measures 13"w x 14.5"h x 5"d. The 5" dial is also in excellent original condition. This clock has Ansonia's fancy sash (bezel around dial) and beveled glass. The porcelain has typical "alligatoring".
Mechanical: The eight-day, cathedral gong-strike movement is in excellent running order and features an "open escapement" visible on the dial. It strikes on the half-hour and on the hour. The movement was professionaly and thoroughly overhauled in April 2003 and had 14 new bushings installed.The clock will be professionally lubricated once again, prior to shipment.
Comments: We don't list a lot of porcelain clocks because many of them offered to us are either pedestrian in design, overtly common, or are in chipped-up condition. This is another wonderful exception.

Difficult-to-Find
Ansonia Royal Bonn No. 502
|
|
|
|
|
This is a stunning big clock, signficantly different in both design and color than most Ansonia clocks with Royal Bonn porcelain cases that you'll ever see... and it runs like a champ!
Physical: The case measures 10.5"w x 13.5"h x 4.5"d. There is a small repaired crack on the left front foot that does not jump out at you. The 5" porcelain dial is in exquisite condition, as is the rest of the clock. Needs a "tin can" rear door.
Mechanical: The eight-day time-and-strike movement was just professionally overhauled. It is keeping precise time and strikes the hour with a deep, resonant gong.
Comments: This is a beautiful clock at an extremely affordable price that's just waiting for a place in your home... perhaps her boudoir?

(original catalogue drawing)
This Ansonia clock is nothing short of spectacular, just having had all of its brass removed, professionally polished and re-lacquered. Take a close look, then jump down to the contact us area as you'll want this in your bevy of beauties immediately!
As you can see in the catalogue drawings above, this model was made in two different configurations for two different era catalogues. This clock is the earlier of the two, from 1894 and has the more desirable cartouche porcelain numerals.
Physical: The "polished
oak case with antique trimmings" (as it was described in the original catalogue) measures 11.5" w x 18.75"h. The finish has been professionally restored. There are typical vertical cracks in the dial board behind and below the bezel. The intricate dial measures 4.75" in diameter and is in excellent condition.
Mechanical:The eight-day time-and-strike movement has been professionally overhauled and is in excellent running order. The movement strikes the half-hour and the hour on the decorative bell on top of the case, in the manner of the old French "lantern" clocks.
Comments: This is an extremely desirable clock to Ansonia collectors, and would make a great conversation/decorator piece in any home or office. Will that be yours?

Difficult-to-Find Seth Thomas City Series Santa Fe
|
|
|
Ship From So. CA
|
|
This clock is one of the City Series by Seth Thomas. We've never had one of this model available to us before, but understand they generally are missing some of the incredible metal leaves on the front. Take a close look at this stunning clock:
Physical: The oak case was completely refurbished. The metal was removed and cleaned, and the wood finish refinished as the old finish was basically shot. The case is 22.5"h and has a wonderful 6" dial that retains the original paint. There is a remnant label in the inside bottom. While you're looking at that, be sure to take a close look at the incredible damascened pendulum bob - it is in amazing condition.
Mechanical: The eight-day half-hour-striking movement was professionally overhauled and is ready for years of great service in your home.
Comments: This is a beautiful clock - whether you're an experienced collector or just shopping for a pretty decorator piece. Call us to make it your own.

We generally don't accept listings of wood-works clocks as really understanding their mechanical condition can be challenging to say the least. This one, by Eli Terry, is an exception as it was just overhauled by one of the top technicians on the West Coast, a man for whom we have immense respect. So, we are proud to offer it for your consideration.
Physical: The long-ago refinished walnut case, which measures 17.25"w x 31"h x 4.25"d, is in excellent overall condition. There is a small chip on the upper left scroll, and a couple of marks on the 11" diameter original wood dial. The glass tablet has likely been touched up over the years - there is a photo from the reverse side. Most of the original label is present on the inside backboard.
Mechanical: As noted above, the 30-hour wood-works movement was recently professionally overhauled and is in excellent running order.
Comments: If you've hesitated on purchasing a wood-works clock because of mechanical concerns, here is a great exception to consider.

A Beautiful Forestville 8-Day Clock, c.1835
We seldom list these earlier clocks, but have done this one as a favor to a longstanding consignor for whom we have sold numerous clocks over the years.
Here's one you will want to study carefully while simultaneously reaching for your checkbook! This beauty is by Forestville Manufacturing Company of Bristol, CT, home of the famous designer, J.C. Brown (History).
Physical: The clock measures 18.5"w x 34.5"h x 6.5"d. The 9" diameter dial is original and hand-painted on a wood base. There are hairline cracks (age-appropriate, certainly) in the dial.
The sleigh-front, half-column Mahogany case is a beauty. No doubt about it. It was refinished in a professional manner some years ago. The labels, although not in "new" condition, are in good condition and age-appropriate to the clock. It is clear that the reverse-painted lower tablet is not the original design... not sure about the glass itself.
Mechanical: The eight-day time and gong-strike weight-driven movement is in good running order, striking on the hour.
Comments: All in all, this is a lovely clock at a great price. Waiting for a special spot on your mantle or perhaps in the family room. Now is the time...
