Swedish Gustavian Neoclassical Longcase Clock, Circa 1800

Offered by: Jacqueline Adams Antiques

Description
A refined Gustavian longcase clock from around 1800, notable for its elegant shape and well-preserved overall structure. This piece expresses the hallmarks of the Gustavian period: symmetry, restraint, and a commitment to Neoclassical balance. The case exhibits soft curvature around the bonnet and a subtly tapered body that creates vertical lift. The painted finish has developed a gentle patina over two centuries, adding depth without compromising clarity. The original face and hands remain intact, reinforcing its authenticity. This clock carries enough presence to anchor an entryway or living room, yet its quiet palette and clean lines make it compatible with modern interiors as well. Collectors value examples like this because they bridge decorative utility and sculptural beauty—timeless, adaptable, and undeniably Swedish. A strong decorative antique with genuine period character rather than reproduction gloss.

This is an antique and having been around for a long time, it will show signs of wear. Antique pieces have very much sought-after character and associated flaws. Please review photos for condition & contact us with questions!
