Antique Swedish Mora Clock (Dalarna)

A striking antique Swedish Mora clock with beautifully aged original paint and exceptional character. The elegant curved case is decorated with traditional folk motifs and dated 1826, reflecting the distinctive craftsmanship associated with the Mora region of Sweden.
 
The painted wooden case houses a classic enamel dial with Roman numerals and decorative hands, signed E. Ericson Mora, indicating the maker from the historic clockmaking centre of Mora in Dalarna.
 
Mora clocks were produced by rural craftsmen during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, when farming families would build clock cases during winter months and fit them with locally made movements. Each clock was therefore individually made, giving them their distinctive hand-crafted character.
 
The wonderful surface wear, original paint, and folk decoration give this example exceptional authenticity and decorative appeal.
