This antique Mora clock from Sweden features a subtle scalloped crown adorning its head, a teardrop-shaped door and belly, triangular lower section, and is supported upon a flat platform base. Hand-painted numbers and an inscription with original owner name and makers mark, along with beautifully ornate hands decorate the face. The round-shaped head sits on a neck with downward curved molding, which is repeated about the waist in a similarly trimmed upward curve. This piece has a palette of earth tones in browns and soft reds, with light blue accents; all which read as neutral from a distance. This clock would be wonderful as a decorative object. Though it retains it's original face and movement, it is not currently in working condition. This 19th century Swedish Mora clock would be a great decorative addition to any foyer, living room or hall.

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.
