This clock is simple yet so very dramatic, standing over 8 and a half feet tall, will be a stunning focal point in any room. The long fluted carved columns are a beautiful example of Gustavian style. This clock has been dry scraped back to its original soft white patina, but you can still see gold leafing showing through the paint in some areas. It has carved Swedish floral designs and dental molding around each column. The face has Roman numerals and ornate black hands. Circa 1820.

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.
