This early 19th century Swedish Norbotten clock is full of wonderful rich carved details. This clock has been dry scraped to its original soft pale blue paint. It has a heavily carved exaggerated headdress at the top with petite flowers and a pierced quartered design in its center, resembling a cross surrounded by leaf motifs. Neck, body and base are all covered in intricate carved foliage accents as well. The base has a half moon shaped starburst pattern in the carving. Circa 1800s Comes complete with weights, pendulum, and clockworks

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.
