Mora Clock Details

This is a beautiful antique Swedish Mora clock dated 1883, decorated with hand-painted floral detailing in the folk-art tradition of late-19th-century Sweden. Its botanical motifs reflect the natural imagery cherished in rural Swedish painting, making it a warm and characterful example of the Scandinavian longcase clock — the Swedish counterpart to the grandfather clock — from the Mora region of Dalarna.

The clock retains a working longcase movement with pendulum and two weights, striking a bell chime on the hour. It is a traditional 7-day mechanism, rewound once a week, with full set-up instructions included.
