decorative C. 1815 antique Swedish mora clock with fine hand painted folk art detail with a stunning bird on the body and 1815 on the inside of the door , initials inside the body and carved detailing on the hood in a deep blue black paint finish with a rare black gold roman numeral face.
Measures: 230cm.
This original 1800s mora clock has a nice face with a clean patina.
The clock body is distressed as befits its age and has the usual wood movement found in clocks of this age.
The clock is sold ‘as is’ : as a decorative piece only with the original mechanism and pendulum but not guaranteed to be in working order – If you want it working we can fit a professional hi torque battery mechanism for time keeping ( +£250) or you can have a great sounding chiming mech which replays the recorded chime through a small speaker with a volume control and 8 hour night off switch (+£350)
The mech change takes approximate 2-3 weeks.
