Antique Swedish Mora Clock in Black and Gold, Early 19th Century

Antique Swedish Mora Clock in Black and Gold, Early 19th Century

This rare antique Swedish Mora clock dates to the early 19th century. The striking black and gold finish highlights its elegant shape and carved details. Delicate folk art feather motifs add a distinctive decorative element.

The detailed clock face bears the maker’s name AAS Mora. Its sculptural case features the graceful curves and narrow waist associated with traditional Swedish Mora clocks. The dramatic dark finish and gilt decoration give this example a particularly strong presence.

Natural distressing and signs of age appear throughout the case. These details reflect the clock’s long history and enhance its authentic antique character.

The clock retains its original mechanism and pendulum. We sell it as a decorative antique and cannot guarantee that the original movement works.

If desired, we can install a professional high-torque battery movement for an additional £295.

 We can also install a chiming mechanism for £395. This option plays a recorded chime and includes volume control and an eight-hour nighttime shut-off. Alternatively, a local clock specialist can service and set up the original mechanism after delivery.

• £295 → approximately $402
• £395 → approximately $539
