About the Ansonia “Lindell” Clock
Title: Ansonia Lindell Clock Model: A Collector’s Delight
The Ansonia “Lindell” clock, crafted by the renowned Ansonia Clock Company, is a mantel clock of exceptional elegance and craftsmanship. This model was primarily produced between 1890 and 1917, making it a valuable piece for antique clock collectors who appreciate items from the Victorian era.
The Lindell clock’s case is typically constructed from mahogany, with intricate marquetry decorations that depict floral motifs and birds, adding a touch of exquisite artistry to any room. The dial features Roman numerals and is protected by a beveled glass. The clock stands on four ornamental feet, contributing to its stately presence.
What makes the Ansonia Lindell clock collectible extends beyond its aesthetic appeal.
