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

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

This elegant antique Swedish Mora clock dates to the early 19th century. Its soft white painted finish contrasts beautifully with delicate gold details. An intricately carved hood crowns the graceful case and gives the clock a refined presence.

The case features the classic extended belly of a traditional Swedish Mora clock. Hand-painted gold decoration highlights the sculptural body, while detailed carving embellishes the pedestal base. The slender proportions make this clock especially elegant.

Natural wear and distressing reflect more than two centuries of history. The clock face shows some lifting and imperfections to the enamel. These areas will receive professional restoration before shipping.

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 approximately $400. We can also install a chiming mechanism for approximately $540. The chiming option plays a recorded chime and includes volume control and an eight-hour nighttime shut-off.
