this uncommon model has been professionally restored with a silvery finish. There is a small 1/4" tip absent from right side of winged urn. The small line drawing of the clock shown in Ly's book titled "Ansonia Clocks" gives no hint of the impressive nature of the clock. We sold a similar model, lot #633, in our October 27th & 28th, 2012 sale for $2100. Ht 18"
