This natural beauty is a dry-scraped Fryksdalen clock; the name originates from the geographical area where it was created. This particular style of clock was only made in Fryksdalen, Värmland, located in west Sweden on the border near Norway. This clock has been dry-scraped back to wood. It has a large star on the breastplate, which also denotes its provenance from Fryksdalen. It has been signed by the Swedish clockmaker and numbered #124 (rare). Circa 1800.

These beautiful items are antique and therefore show signs of wear and rich patinas consistent with their age and history and are sold “as is.” The clock mechanisms are generally basic and rustic in nature. They do not resemble the refined mechanisms of clockmakers today. As such, they cannot be described as reliable timepieces and are often bought for their style, appearance, and character. While our clock mechanisms have all been cleaned and serviced by a master clocksmith, they are sold on the understanding they are not made to the same standards of modern-day clock movements and may require balancing to even the pendulum swing once in your home and servicing/cleaning to ensure its continued working.
