Ansonia Clock Co. enameled iron case, “Monterey”, ca 1904. This one is very rare, only the second I have seen. The character on the corners may be Sampson holding up the columns. Iron case is 17 ¼” long and 9 ½” high, finished in black with Barbedienne Bronze cherub ornaments.  They depict the harvesting of grapes on the left side and drinking the fruits of their labor on the right side. The finish on the case and ornaments is near perfect. It appears the clock has been restored inside and outside and is certainly ready to sit on your mantel and enjoy. Brass sash with beveled glass, one-piece porcelain dial is perfect, clean and has no hairlines and has the original hands. Original back metal door and pendulum. 8-day movement is signed, running and striking hours and half hours on a gong. A very nice, and unusual clock. Ly-Ansonia #1057 $200-$300.

Ansonia Clock Co. enameled iron case, “Pompeii”, ca 1904. A popular and unusual case style, what with the gooney birds on the ends, and the three castings of unhappy women’s images, on the base. The black enamel case is very nice, has some ragged edges that were left as is, no attempt to cover up the spots, and has some gold-filled incised designs around the front, and is 15” wide, and about 11” high. All the metal is original, I would suspect that someone did us a favor and regilted the ornaments, leaving them all alike, and very nice looking. The sash and rings are brass, heavy beveled glass in the sash. The signed two-piece porcelain dial has some spider webs and small chips around two arbors. The hands are correct and original. A correct metal back cover is in place, pendulum and key inside. The movement is 8-day, signed, running, and striking a Cathedral gong on the hours and half hours. The bird on top was there when the clock came to us, no doubt not a factory addition. A very nice clock. Ly-Ansonia #968. $500-$750.

Bronze French Cartel clock, ca 1895. The 8-day, time only movement, is signed, “Marti et Cie”, and “L.F.”, and “324” is signed on the movement, the pendulum and other parts of the bronze case.

Bowed and beveled glass in the machined bronze sash, bowed porcelain dial is signed, “Bagues & Fils / Fab ts de Bronzes / Paris”. Painted numerals for hours, pair of delicate and expertly pierce French gold hands. The original balance is running. I thought at first this was a common cartel but after going thru it I was wrong. It is an expensive French bronze clock with an 8-day spring driven movement that is running. A definite clock you will want to keep. $550-$750.

Seth Thomas & Sons, mantel clock with Art Nouveau finish, ca 1872. They made this clock for over 30 years with very slight variations, usually in the tree trunk or the clock base. Seth Thomas named it, “No. 8002 / Rebecca At The Well”. I may have seen only a half dozen of this model over 50 years and have never seen one with the top tree branch intact. It stuck straight up and always got broken off, same with this one. The one-piece porcelain dial is signed, “Mitchell Vance & Co. / N.Y.”. The case is 16 inches high and 15 inches wide. There is a metal cover over the back-movement opening, round 8-day movement that is running and striking a nickel bell. Ly-Seth Thomas, page 1046. $200-$350.
