<p>[QUOTE="Ghopper1924, post: 9487003, member: 5170"]This was an example of Ansonia’s foray into pushing the latest blend of technology and art to increasingly wealthy 1880s consumers. I would think that Ansonia viewed this as elegant, although I couldn’t say whether it was meant to appeal to a family descended from 17th Century Huguenots or a late 19th Century robber baron or even a wealthy clerk. Certainly there were cheaper clocks to be had.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
