Antique Ansonia New York Gilt Bronze Crystal Regulator Clock C.1880

19th century
Description

An elegant and highly decorative antique Ansonia crystal regulator mantel clock, manufactured by the renowned Ansonia Clock Company of New York and dating to the late nineteenth century, circa 1880.

Housed within an exceptionally decorative gilt bronze (ormolu) mounted crystal case, this fine clock displays the rich Rococo Revival styling that characterised some of Ansonia's most desirable productions. The elaborate cast scrolling crest, floral ornament and flowing ormolu mounts demonstrate a level of craftsmanship far beyond ordinary mantel clocks of the period.

The transparent crystal case allows full appreciation of the exposed movement, pendulum assembly and striking mechanism, transforming the clock into both a functional timepiece and an impressive decorative object.

Presented in good antique condition with age-related wear, patination and surface marks consistent with age and use. One mercury pendulum tube is missing, as photographed. The clock retains excellent decorative appeal and displays beautifully.

FAQs

A crystal regulator is a style of mantel clock popularised in the late 19th century, defined by four clear bevelled glass panels that display the internal clockwork mechanism and pendulum.

These timepieces are constructed using cast brass or gilt bronze cases, thick bevelled glass panes, porcelain enamel dials, and mechanical movements with brass or mercury-filled pendulums.

Authentic Ansonia clocks feature trademark stamps on the dial or movement backplate, precise casting on the gilt metal casing, and original bevelled glass windows.

Placing a gilt metal timepiece on a dark wood sideboard, marble fireplace mantel, or hallway console table provides a rich visual anchor that complements modern architectural lines.

Maintain the finish by dusting gently with a clean, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding liquid chemicals, brass polishes, or abrasives that can degrade the original gilding.
