This exquisite clock is from the late Rococo period and has been dry-scraped to its natural wood finish with lovely gold accents on both the crown and the base. There is trompe l'oeil blue lapis stone detailing on the bonnet and skirt. The face bears the makers signature and the town of Mora where it was created. From the elaborately carved crown to the rococo feet this clock is truly a rare find. Circa 1780.

These items are antique and therefore show signs of wear and 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 of today. As such, they cannot be described as reliable timepieces and are often bought for their style, appearance, and character. While the clock mechanism works, they are sold on the understanding it is not made to the same standards of modern-day clock movements and may require balancing to even the pendulum swing and servicing/cleaning to ensure its continued working.
