Not Me silly you already know me...But this is my Ansonia Clock from Ca. 1854 and it is called a Gloria clock...
it is called a Swinger clock as the the pendulum swings back and forth...this is the pendulum
this is the clock face...
This clock sit on an old street lamp post that my late husband cut down and sand blasted and powder painted 
Wally gave this to me for my 39th Birthday and said that way I will always be a swinger and have one too ha ha!! It's one of my prize possessions in my home...

Pretty! I have never seen a clock like that. I was out again today trying to decide what I want to use - pinned it down to 2 floor styles. Need to bring samples home and compare to cabinets & furniture. Would you believe those were the 2 samples the store was out of !?!? Geesh!
Enjoy your weekend.
Gloria, I love your clock! And I love the reason that Wally gave it to you. :-) You are a hoot!
Love you much...

What a beautiful curiositie that clock is, and that it shares your name makes it even more amazing!
You have an amazing home! I love how everything is so properly Victorian! It reminds me of a local estate, now a public park, Maymont, in Richmond, VA. (http://www.maymont.org)
I'm so happy to have found (and to follow) your blog. I'm anxious to learn more about antiques. Our biggest antique is our 1921 arts and crafts home!!
I look forward to returning and finding out more.
Drop in for a "visit".

Mornin' Sis...
I'm sooo glad that you did an "up close and personal" post and photos on your magnificent Ansonia "Gloria" clock! It truly is magnificent...I certainly can see why it is one of your favorites! Ahhh...and along with it comes so many sweet memories...what a treasure! And...not to mention...that you have such a fabulous piece...named after you! wink! I'm curious as to what kind of metal that this clock is made of? Is it brass? And what is the black parts....metal? I just think this clock is so unique...seeing that the clock face is situated on the black orb...sooo awesome!!! I just love all the ornated detailing too...ohhhh, and that beautiful angel...magnificent!!! I love that Wally cut and fixed this old lamp post to display it...it really is so perfect!!! Thank you, sweet friend...for sharing your magnificent "Gloria" clock with us!!! I love it!!!
Okay...I'm off to see your stove now! Hehe! Just trying to get back into the grind of things. We got home yesterday afternoon...had lots of fun but was sunburned, windburned, and hot! Hehe! Talk to you later, sweet friend!!!
Love ya,
Chari
