This stunning painted Rococo clock has a large curved body and an ornate headpiece. This clock was made in Stockholm, Sweden circa 1770. The decorative crown headpiece is made from heavy gilded paper manchier'. It is not attached to the clock and can be detached for transport. The clock has original convex glass in the face, sidelights and belly circa late 1700s. Older historic decorative painting date from the 1800's. The face of this clock is noteworthy as well, as the painter took time to offset his hand painted numbers to add more asthetic appeal. This is a really special and unique clock

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.
