Description

Swedish mora grandfather clocks are identified by their gentle curves and classic style as seen in this exceptional longcase clock … more Swedish mora grandfather clocks are identified by their gentle curves and classic style as seen in this exceptional longcase clock that stands just over 7.5' tall.
Restored, later professionally painted in layered shades of antique white and lightly distressed to fit the age and grace of this lovely grandfather clock.
The original clock required the commissioning of 3 professionals; the carpenter, painter and clock professional who designed the clockworks, face and hands.
Any original clock works and pendulum remaining will be included with the long case but they are not in working condition. Many clients opt to add a battery function vs restoring the old works; we leave this to the discretion of buyer upon arrival.
All scratches, cracks, dings, and age related separation (see back photo) are reflective of age and do not detract from the beauty of this lovely Mora grandfather clock. Because the original clock functions were so sensitive, Mora clocks were typically secured/nailed to a wall which left holes or an opening along the backs. A rear support has been added to replace the missing feet; clock sits level/stable.
