Ansonia Clock Co., Ansonia, Connecticut. The "Bagdad" wall clock. 212001.

This wall clock is called the "Bagdad." It is in a wonderful original condition. The case wood is black walnut and retains an older surface and good color. The applied turnings, molding, and carvings are original to this clock. The front of the case is a large door fitted with decorated glass. This decorative pattern is in excellent original condition. The center of this design is left open to allow one to view the dial and the motion of the large brass pendulum bob. The dial is paper and applied to a tin pan. It is original to the clock and measures 8 inches in diameter. The time ring features Roman-style hour numerals. This example also displays the seconds on a subsidiary dial. The brass constructed, spring wound time only movement is die-stamped by the Maker on the front plate. It is designed to run for eight days on a full wind. 

This clock measures approximately 50.5 inches long and was made circa 1900.

The Bagdad was offered in three wood choices. They were black walnut, mahogany, and oak. One also had several choices in terms of the movement design. They offered a striking option as well as spring or weight power.
