This antique clock from Sweden, circa 1820's, is topped with a subtly raised and carved crest, atop a round-shaped head. A nicely trimmed molding accents the neck , just above the traditionally raindrop shaped belly, with circular window at it's center, and additional trim molding defines the waist. The clock is raised on a molded and flat base with small lifts at each corner giving the slightest appearance of lift from the floor. The clock has a dry scraped finish with various shades of a muted, creamy apricot and beige. This clock would be wonderful as a decorative object and retains its original face. This 19th century Swedish clock would look fabulous adorning an entryway, bedroom, or kitchen.

This clock is not currently in working condition. Upon completion of purchase and before shipping, a new quartz battery will be added behind the face. The original hands are too heavy to carry the quartz movement, so they would be changed to black hands in a similar in style. A pendulum will be selected and added to work with the quartz movement. The clock would then chime at the top of each hour (the chime can be turned off).

Please message us if you prefer for this clock NOT to be quartzed - we can offer a lower price.
