Ansonia Royal Bonn Porcelain “ La Normandie”
|
|
|
|
|
We're fortunate to presently have a whole collection of Ansonia porcelain "La Normandie" models to offer you, including this multi-color Royal Bonn and the other labeled Delft. Here is the Royal Bonn done in what the factory called "New Art Tints" that originally sold for $15.75 in 1904:
Physical: The porcelain case is in excellent original condition and measures 13"w x 13.5"h x 5"d. It has a 5" diameter dial with exposed jeweled escapement and a "rococo-style" sash with original beveled glass.
Mechanical: The eight-day time-and-strike movement strikes a mellow gong on the half hour and the hour. The movement was professionally overhauled in 2010 and is in excellent running order.
Comments: Give us a call to start the process for this one... or perhaps the entire collection!

Cobalt Blue is one of the richest-looking and most desirable of all the Royal Bonn porcelain cases made in Germany for the Ansonia Clock Co. The photos do the talking...
Physical: The porcelain case is all original and in excellent physical condition as you can see in the photos below. It measures 14"w x 11.75"h x 5"d.
Mechanical: The eight-day, spring-driven, gong-strike movement was professionally overhauled in 2010. It strikes on the half hour and the hour with a deep, mellow tone.
Comments: An absolutely stunning piece of art that also happens to be a clock. We're sure you're already thinking about (conniving?) where you might put it in your home...

Stunning Ansonia Royal Bonn “ La Cerda” Porcelain in Cobalt Blue
|
|
|
Ship From So. CA
|
|
This is one of the fanciest Royal Bonn porcelain cases made in Germany for the Ansonia Clock Co. We're fortunate to also have one in green with an elaborate dial. This one in the highly desirable and much sought-after cobalt blue color. Both are knockout clocks and the photos don't do them justice by any means.
Physical: The porcelain case is all original and in excellent physical condition as you can see in the photos below. It measures 14"w x 15"h x 5d.
Mechanical: The eight-day, spring-driven, gong-strike movement was professionally overhauled in 2010. It strikes on the half hour and the hour with a deep, mellow tone.
Comments: An absolutely stunning piece of art that also happens to be a clock. We know of a LaCerda in Cobalt Blue that sold on eBay for $3,500 ~ ours is a much better buy. We're sure you're already thinking about (conniving?) where you might put it in your home...

Ansonia “ La Cerda” Porcelain
with Rare FANCY Dial
|
|
|
Ship From So. CA
|
|
This is one of the fancier Royal Bonn porcelain cases made in Germany for the Ansonia Clock Co. We're fortunate to have one in green with this incredibly fancy dial with exposed escapement (we've never seen one before), and another in the extremely desirable cobalt blue color. Both are knockout clocks! Watch for the other ones to be posted.
Physical: The porcelain case is all original and in excellent physical condition as you can see in the photos below. It measures 14"w x 15"h and has the fanciest 5" Ansonia dial we've ever seen - it was a special order item of some kind that we've not even noticed in their catalogues (though someone is likely, because of this lising, to point that out to us!)
Mechanical: The eight-day, spring-driven, gong-strike movement strikes on the half hour and the hour with a deep, mellow tone.
Comments: This is an absolutely stunning piece of art... oh, and it happens to be a clock, too. If you love beauty of this order better place yours immediately!

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
Just Completely Overhauled!
|
|
|
|
|
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. A correct rear "tin can" door will be installed and shipped with the clock. The 5" porcelain dial is in exquisite condition, as is the rest of the clock.
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?

Extremely Unusual and Difficult-to-Find
Bim-Bam Quarter-Strike Seth Thomas “ Atlas”
|
|
|
|
|
The extremely sought-after and desirable Seth Thomas "Atlas" model has a very unusual movement with three gongs. It does a bim-bam strike on the lighter-guage gongs twice on the quarter hour, four times on the half, six times on the three-quart and eight times on the hour, followed by the hour being struck on a heavier mellow-sounding "cathedral bell" gong on the hour. This is the kind of movement one might more expect to find in a "petite sonnerie" European clock.
Physical: The beautiful mahogany case, marked on the back with an 1887 manufacture date, is in excellent condition, measures 22.5" high (we are waiting on the other dimensions from our consignor) and has the ORIGINAL FINISH. The 6" dial is in very good condition and has the ORIGINAL PAINT. Likewise the GLASS IS ORIGINAL in this clock, and it has a great damascened pendulum bob, too.
Mechanical: The eight-day time and quarter-hour strike movement was professionally overhauled in 2010 and is in excellent running order. One thing to reiterate from above is that the hour gong has a very mellow tone... pleasing to the ear.
Comments: These don't come along often and, when they do, are generaly scooped up quickly. At the time of this listing there is one on eBay posted with a considerably higher asking price. Now's your opportunity...

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 recently 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 recently 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.

Exquisite Ansonia “ Excelsior ”
With Open Escapement
We don't often see these high-end "crystal regulators" as they stay put in most collections. Occasionally, we can pry one loose from a collector to offer to you. Such is the case with this exquisite example.
Physical: The gilded and brass case, c.1904, with original beveled plate glass (four sides) measures 11"w x 20.5"h x 9"d. It was professionally disassembled in 2002 and completely re-gilded (gold-plated). The restoration cost just for gilding all the parts of the clock (in year 2002 gold prices) was $350. At the time our consignor acquired the clock he was unaware of a tiny repair that had been made to the right rear foot. If he hadn't shown it to us we would never have seen it ourselves, but we've provided you a closeup so you can see for yourself that it's not a big deal; it's not really even a tiny deal, so let's move on. The case is in excellent physical condition... take a look at the myriad of photos below. The 5.5" porcelain dial with open escapement, the hands, pendulum, gong – you name it – are all original components to this clock.
Mechanical: The eight-day, time and gong-strike movement was professionally overhauled in 2002 and professionally serviced (lubricated) in 2006, so it's in excellent running order and will provide years of great service to you.
Comments: These clocks were designed to make a statement, and they are still doing it with style 100 years later. If you've missed out on finding one of these big crystal regulators in the past, now is the time to not let it happen again. You know what to do!

A Beautiful Forestville 8-Day Clock, c.1835
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...
