Mora Clock Details

This is an elegant vintage Swedish Mora clock from the 1960s, retaining its original cream colour with gold carved detailing. While not an antique, it's a genuine mid-20th-century example that continues the centuries-old Swedish tradition of longcase clockmaking — the Scandinavian counterpart to the grandfather clock — with refined carved-and-gilded decoration echoing earlier styles.

The cream-and-gold palette suits Gustavian and contemporary Scandinavian interiors alike, and the 1960s date makes it a more accessible alternative to an 18th- or 19th-century antique.

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.

About this style of Mora Clock

Cream and gold Mora clocks from the mid-20th century continue the elegant Swedish tradition of longcase clockmaking, with carved gold detailing that echoes the refined decorative styles of earlier centuries — a contrast to the painted floral folk-art finishes also common in this period.

Mora Clock Set-Up

Setting up a Mora clock is straightforward, and full instructions are included with the clock. The two weights are hung at the end of their chains/cords, and the pendulum is attached. Swinging the pendulum starts the clock running. The mechanism is a 7-day movement, meaning the clock needs winding once a week. We ship Mora clocks worldwide, including door-to-door delivery to the USA.
