A wood-carved Swedish Mora floor clock from the 19th century. This antique Mora clock from Sweden features a raised and flattened top bonnet, trimmed in rope-carved trim adorning its head, a raindrop-shaped door and belly, rounded-triangular lower section, which 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 scraped finish which allows much of the wood grain to show, with a subtle gold trim accent. This clock would be wonderful as a decorative object and retains its original face. This Swedish Mora clock, circa 1830's, will be a great decorative addition to any home or office!
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.
The mechanical elements are not guaranteed to be in working order by Chairish.
