Note this is a little later model than the drawing shown in Ly's Ansonia book (page 177, fig 573). This one has floral rather than geometric incising and a plain pendulum rather than the floral pendulum. Note also this one with gilt columns right and left that are plain on the 1873 model. Some wear and discoloration on the dial near the right winding hole. The tablet, dial and hands & finials are all original and this is about as good as it gets for an example of this model. Note Tran Ly prices this at $600 which is about 50% low, particularly in this condition which is nearly impossible to find on an ebonized clock. Height 30 inches
