  • Antique Ansonia “Lydia” Model Clock

    Antique Ansonia

    Ansonia Clock Co. “Lydia”, ca 1894. You would have tosee it in person to really appreciate the complete restoration of this outstanding early Ansonia clock. Bruce Baziluk refinished it in silver, which is one ofthe finishes Ansonia used on some early pieces. I don’t know where they are, but you just never see one on the market. The catalog pictures almost showyou nothing. I will try to describe it but there is too much detail to doit adequately. The four feet are sea serpents that are intertwined on thesides. Above them, on each side is the bust of Lydia?, and standing aboveher is a cupid with bow and quiver. The cupids are reaching up toward theurn which is designed to look like a pool of water with lily pads. At thebottom-front, an eagle with wings spread. Above the eagle is the unusual dial, sash, beveled glass, hands, and open escapement mechanism, all done up insilver, except for the brass numbers and brass inner dial. Above the dial, are a rams head, and then the urn on top. Total piece is almost 20 incheshigh and 12 inches wide. 8 day movement strikes half hours on a gong. Thisis one nice, big clock, beautifully done up. Awfully tempting to keep a whilelonger as the prices keep going up much faster than the stock market. Ly-Ansonia No. 1585.

  • Antique Ansonia “Lydia” Model Clock

    Antique Ansonia

    Ansonia Clock Co. “Lydia”, ca 1894. One of the figural clocks most collectors are trying to find for their collections. It is a much larger clock than the pictures in the catalogs depict. It stands 19 1/2 inches high, and is very heavy. The metal is finished in Barbedienne, a member of the gold family. To point out just a few of the figures on the clock, starting at the base; sea serpents make up each of the 4 corners extending down to the feet. There is an eagle on the base with banners in his mouth that reach up each side to the head of a goddess. There are cherubs standing on each side of the urn. The urn top appears to have some fresh finish. There is a rams head in the center above the dial, same on the back. The cherubs have a bow over their shoulder. The later Lydia\’s did not have that feature. Gilt 2 piece porcelain dial with open escapement, silver dial ring, beveled glass. Movement is 8 day, striking on a gong. This is a very ornately decorated clock, complete with a back door, correct pendulum, and hands. Ly-Ansonia No.1585.
