The clock body shows distressing typical for its age, including a single split down the front. This is common in antique clocks but can be repaired at no extra cost if you prefer. If you wish to preserve the original look, we can leave the split untouched or carefully fill and touch up the area to restore its appearance.

Sold ‘As Is’ – Decorative Piece Only:

This Antique Swedish Mora Clock is sold as is and is intended as a decorative item. It comes with the original mechanism and pendulum, but it is not guaranteed to be in working order. If you’d like to restore functionality, consider the following options:

1. High-Torque Battery Mechanism – £250 ($325): Install a professional battery-powered mechanism for accurate timekeeping without the need for winding.
2. Chiming Mechanism – £350 ($454): Add a chiming mechanism that plays recorded chimes through a speaker, with volume control and an 8-hour night off switch.

Important Information:

• Wood Movement: Bentwood construction in Mora clocks can naturally shift or split due to changes in temperature and humidity after shipping. This is a normal process that enhances the authenticity and age of the clock.

This Antique Swedish Mora Clock from the early 1800s is a rare and timeless piece. Whether you choose to keep it as a decorative statement or restore it to full functionality, this exquisite Mora clock will bring historical beauty and elegance to any space.
