Sold ‘As Is’ – Decorative Piece Only:

This Swedish Mora Clock is sold as is, intended for use as a decorative piece. It includes the original mechanism and pendulum, though it is not guaranteed to be in working order. However, you can opt for one of the following customization options to make the clock functional:

1. High-Torque Battery Mechanism – £250 ($325): Install a professional battery mechanism to keep accurate time without the need for winding.
2. Chiming Mechanism – £350 ($455): Add a modern chiming mechanism that plays recorded chimes through a small speaker, featuring volume control and an 8-hour night off switch.
3. Local Clockmaker Service: If you prefer to restore the original clockwork mechanism, you can hire a local clockmaker to clean, repair, and set up the clock at your location. Prices vary based on location.

If you select the battery mechanism, installation typically takes 2-3 weeks.

Note: As wood is a natural material, it may change shape when transported to a new environment with differing temperature and humidity. This could cause minor splits or shifts in the panels as the clock adapts to its new surroundings.

Own a piece of history with this early 1800s Swedish Mora clock. Whether you keep it as a statement piece or restore its functionality, this vintage clock will enhance your home with elegance and charm.
