Swedish 18th C. Wooden Clock | Item# 424

23"width 11"depth 101.75"height

An 18th century Swedish clock. This Swedish wooden clock with linear profile a square head topped with a triangular shape crest. The face, featuring a pewter ring with Roman and traditional numbers, is flanked by half columns. The clock, resting on a rectangular shaped base, has a great presence. The general colors mix brown, red and light green with wood coming through. This clock would be wonderful as a decorative object and is not currently in working condition, but can be quartzed to keep perfect time, for an additional cost. A quartz battery would then be added behind the face. The original hands are too heavy to carry the quartz movement, so they would be changed to black hands, similar in style. The clock would then chime (the chime can be turned off even though the sound is quite delightful.) A pendulum selected to work with the quartz movement would be added behind the glass opening.

Price: $5,113.
