Fully serviced: 1150€
1836 dated Swedish made antique Mora Grandfather Clock in the curvy female style. This is painted in multi earth tone colors over a brown base color in a decorative fall floral pattern on the front side of the clock. The sides have a repeating wavy pattern that was made with metal comb when the glazing finish was applied. The case is made from solid pine wood. The hood has a 6 rounded patterned crown, flat glass in front of the clock dial. The hood is one unit and needs to be removed to access the clock dial.
The middle section has a flat paneled door with steel hinge and latching hardware. The date of 1836 is painted on the upper half of the middle section.
The base is flush to floor with molded trim. The back panel is one section.
The movement is a thick steel model with a dual set of large bells that chime on the hour. The hour and minute hands are thick brass metal in a decorative form. The clock dial is eggshell white-yellowish with black arabic hour numerals.
Dimensions in CM: 2.06H x .42W x .19D.
Condition: The case has fine scratches and nicks. The rear panel has holes that were most likely used to secure the clock to a wall. The movement has been fully serviced and is running with good time and chiming correctly, although about 30 seconds prior to the hour.
