A beautifully executed mid-19th century mantel clock by the esteemed Ansonia Clock Company, featuring the “La Layon” model in collaboration with Royal Bonn, one of Germany’s most celebrated porcelain manufacturers.
The striking porcelain case, marked “Bonn, Germany – La Layon”, is richly hand-painted with a delicate still-life composition of florals and foliates in soft hues of lavender and yellow, accented with finely detailed gilt highlights and romantic floral motifs. The artistry and color palette lend the piece a graceful, timeless presence, making it an exquisite focal point in any setting.
The clock is fitted with a high-quality American 8-day brass time and strike movement with Brocot escapement, signed both on the dial and the movement by Ansonia Clock Co., a hallmark of fine horological craftsmanship. The porcelain dial retains its original hands and numerals, and displays a faint hairline, which is consistent with age and does not detract from its charm or function.
The case is in very good overall condition, with no chips, cracks, or repairs. Measuring approximately 14 inches high by 14 inches wide and 5 inches deep, this exceptional timepiece blends technical sophistication with decorative beauty. A rare and collectible work of art and elegance.
