19th Century Swedish Long Case Clock

$5,700.00
This slender Mora pine long case clock has been stripped down to its original burnt orange color with remnants of old paint. Gustavian Mora clocks are a type of long case clock which were made in, and derived their name from, the town of Mora in Dalarna province, Sweden. The clock has a removable panel in the body which is held in place with a wooden knob. The hands are pierced with a delicate lyrical pattern that creates a nice contrast to the rustic finish. The clock is in working order with brass and metal clock movements. The 8 day clock workings are key wound with a brass pendulum and two iron weights driving the time and strike trains which strikes on a bell on each hour.
