This is an elegant longcase clock from northern Sweden that has its original faded blue paint. The base paint is soft gustavian blue but there are also swirls of white decorative paint as on the case as well. On the bonnet there is a raised relief carving and a wonderful carved starburst detail around the belly glass. The provenance has been documented on the skirt, it has its makers monogram and date. This clock was manufactured in 1806.

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.
