19th Century Swedish Mora Clock
- H: 197 cm (77 9/16")
- W: 47 cm (18 1/2")
- D: 22 cm (8 11/16")
19th Century painted Swedish Mora clock with the original pendulum and watch weights.
Decorated with little painted roses. Dry scraped to its old paint.
The origin of the clock in Mora dates back to the early 18th Century when the town of Mora was affected by several years of drought. Large numbers of people fled Mora and traveled to Stockholm where they learned new skills that included new farming techniques and clock-making.
Returning to their village, these journeymen applied their skills to a local craft based industry in which various families would create the case of the clock and other families would put together the clock mechanism.
Once the clock was assembled it would then typically be custom painted for its end client.
PLEASE NOTE:
The clocks we sell are decorative and are not guaranteed to be in working order. If you require the clock to be in working order, we can recommend an antique clock specialist who will carry out the work for you at your cost after purchasing.
