Beautiful Original Painted Swedish Mora Clock – Dated 1873
£1,200.00
A charming and highly decorative Swedish Mora clock, dated 1873, retaining its wonderfully faded original painted finish with hand-painted floral decoration. The elegant curvaceous case, warm earthy tones and attractive shaped crest make this a striking statement piece, equally at home in a traditional country house or a contemporary interior.
The clock features its original painted dial with decorative numerals and a glazed door, while the case displays the lovely patina and character that only over 150 years of age can create. The floral detailing and softly worn paintwork give this Mora clock an abundance of authentic Swedish country charm.
Originally crafted in the Mora district of central Sweden, these iconic longcase clocks were traditionally handmade by local cabinet makers before being fitted with movements by specialist clockmakers. Produced from the late 18th century through the 19th century, no two Mora clocks are exactly alike, making each example a unique piece of Scandinavian history. Today, original Mora clocks are highly sought after for their elegant proportions, understated beauty and timeless appeal.
A wonderful decorative antique that would make a stunning focal point in a hallway, living room, kitchen or garden room.
