Condition & Customization Options
This antique Mora clock is sold as is—a decorative piece with its original mechanism and pendulum, but functionality is not guaranteed. If you prefer a working clock, we offer the following upgrade options:
- High-Torque Battery Mechanism (+£250): A professional battery-powered conversion for reliable timekeeping.
- Chiming Battery Mechanism (+£350): A recorded chime system with volume control and an 8-hour night-off switch.
If selecting a battery mechanism upgrade, please allow approximately 2-3 weeks for installation.
Important Notes on Antique Wood Movement
Wood is a natural, living material that reacts to environmental changes. After shipping, minor shifts or splits in the panels may occur as the clock adjusts to its new home—this is a normal characteristic of authentic antiques.
