Ansonia depicts a "Gingerbread" style clock manufactured by the American Ansonia Clock Company. These clocks were made in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, typically between the 1880s and 1910s. Key Features Design: It has a richly carved wooden case, often referred to as a mantel clock. Dial and Pendulum: It has a Roman numeral dial and a glass door with silver-plated or etched patterns through which the ornate pendulum can be seen.It works perfectly, it signals every half hour, and of course on the hour, whatever time it is. It has a pleasant and discreet sound.A blue piece of wood is missing next to the glass, so the glass moves a little, but it is still stable. We can post it carefully packaged, in an insured, registered package.
