About the Item

Mid-19th century Painted Swedish Mora Column Case Floor Clock Anonymous Sweden; probably mid-19th century Wood, enamel, iron Approximate size: 84 (h) x 21.75 (w) x 10 (d) in. This Swedish floor clock boasts a beautifully aged sage-gray finish, revealing glimpses of the original amber-toned wood beneath its weathered surface. Its enamel clock face, complete with classic numerals, adds to its antique appeal. A hand-engraved sunburst motif graces the lower portion of the case, while the upper door is distinguished by a grooved texture. It includes its original key and lock. Restored in 2023 and currently fully functional, although we must advise that due to the delicate nature of its components, we cannot guarantee functionality post-delivery. Condition commensurate with age. Painted surface areas are naturally distressed due to age. The interior door has a later applied white painted façade. The enamel surface of the clock face features craquelure with some minor losses to its surface. An improvised hook is used to secure the clock door in-place (see photo). Restored to full functionality in 2023 but we cannot guarantee functionality post-delivery due to the delicacy of the clockwork components.

Located in Leesburg, VA
Anonymous Mid-18th century; probably Moustiers or Nevers, France Faience and brass Approximate size: 12.25 (h) x 9 (w) x 6.25 (d) inches The present dispenser was either used as a water or wine cooler or possibly for washing hands. The original lid is lost-to-time, yet its provincial beauty remains attractive and sublime. The present example—baked with white enamel and decorated with a lovely hand-painted polychrome lattice and floral theme—is warm, elegant and rustic. The curving linear form of the flowers subtly recall the influence of Japan’s Kakiemon style present in France during the Rococo period yet is still indebted to the earlier influence of Italy’s prolific maiolica workshops. This fountain would serve as an elegant addition for display on an oak or distressed wood console table...
