This antique long-case clock from Sweden has a round-shaped head with a raised arched crest adorning its top, and the original metal face (with hand-painted numbers and decoratively scrolled metal hands) are found behind the glass opening. The neck and waist are accentuated by the subtle curves of the raindrop-shaped belly, with trim molding. The clock is secured with a flat base with step-down molding. Much of the original color still remains, consisting of melon, gray, and cream, with lots of areas of wood grain showing throughout.

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.
