19th Century Swedish Wood Floor Clock with Scraped Finish & New Quartz Movement

About the Item

A Swedish long-case carved and painted wood floor clock from the 19th century, with new quartz movement. This antique floor clock from Sweden, has an exaggerated bonnet topped with egg-shaped finial. The clock has a distinctly curvy rain-drop shaped belly, and shapely triangular base. Trim molding accentuates the base of the neck and underside of the belly. It is presented upon a flat back base with scalloped cut-outs at front. The scraped finish reveals lots of wood grain and soft blues with cream accents. The clock retains its original metal face, and has been newly quartzed to keep perfect time. A quartz battery has been added behind the face. Its original hands are too heavy to carry the quartz movement, so they have been changed to a similar style. However, we will include the clock's original movement. This clock chimes, though the chime can be turned off even though the sound is quite delightful! This Swedish 19th century grandfather clock would be quite a wonderfully welcoming piece for an entryway, kitchen, or living area.

19th Century Northern Swedish Painted Wood Floor Clock with Unique Crest
Located in Atlanta, GA
A 19th century Northern Swedish clock an exaggerated bonnet/crest. This handsome Swedish clock is very special, it was obtained in Northern Sweden and features a distinct and uniquely adorn crest, which we lovingly refer to as "Napoleon" as we find it reminiscent of a bircorn (a two-cornered/horned twill military hat). The crest is further designed in a ridged pattern, with a pierced keyhole or escutcheon at it's center. There is a carved fan motif about the neck, with molded accents above and accentuating the waist. This nicely curved clock, rests on a mostly flat base with a pair of petite star carved scrolls at it's center. This clock has an old scraped finish with traces of greyish/ blue/green tones showing throughout. This clock would be a wonderful decorative object. Though it retains it's original face and movement, it 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.
