Ansonia “Capitol”, ca. 1901.  Ansonia made three slightly different versions of the Capitol over 20+ years; this is the last version; they also made spring and weight-driven versions.  This one is in black walnut with a nice finish; the finials are correct but probably reproduced, as is the crest.  The glasses are old, the dial is glossy paper, the hands correct. Note the seconds bit.  This example is weight-driven, time-only, 8-day, and the movement is signed and running.  I can’t be sure the weights are original and the pendulum and bob are strongly suspect.  Nonetheless, a nice-looking clock, 54 inches tall.  The weight-driven versions seem to be less common than the spring-driven versions.  $500-$750.
