c. 1900s-1910s; The Ansonia Clock Co. - New York
This ornate Art Nouveau mantel clock is rendered in cast metal with flowing, whiplash curves and a sculpted maiden in low relief-an archetypal motif of the movement's fascination with natural form and feminine personification. The case retains traces of its original hand-applied polychrome, especially around the florals and sinuous drapery. The clock face is fitted with a striking bright green uranium-glass dial, giving off the unmistakable glow associated with early radium-era decorative glasswork.
The Ansonia Clock Co. of New York was one of America's premier mass-market clock manufacturers, celebrated for their expressive cast-metal cases and stylistic adventurousness at the turn of the century.
