About the Item

Patina Perfection!! A stunning 19th Century Neo-classical style painted pine tall case clock by master clockmaker Mogens Peter Westh (1817-1894 apprenticed 1835 to Morten Jørgensen Møller) Hand-crafted on the Danish island Bornholm, located just off the coast of Denmark and Sweden in the Baltic Sea. Also known as a Bornholm stand or Bornholmer, featuring a hand painted cream solid pine wooden case, accented with hand carved giltwood foliate motif, topped with an overhanging cornice with decorative dentil molding, circular blue enameled dial with gilt Roman numerals, clockwork by Westh, rising above a tall narrow case with single cabinet door, flanked by classic Corinthian capital columns, over a shaped plinth base decorated with richly gilded swags. Dial signed, M. P. Westh, dated 1878 77.5" High, 21.25" Wide, 8.5” Deep The narrow case 13” Wide Condition: Good original antique condition. Includes weights, winding key, and pendulum. Pendulum does not hang because of broken suspension spring. It appears to be a minor, easy fix, but we are not clock experts; it is being sold as a non-working decorative piece, in as-is condition, with no guarantee. We are not selling it as an operational clock. Presents well, with beautiful, nicely aged patina over the whole, enhanced by heavily worn, distressed, chippy paint finish, that does not detract from the display, but only adds to the overall antique character, elegant warmth, and sophisticated rustic charm.
