Rococo Grandfather Clocks and Longcase Clocks
ROCOCO STYLE
Rococo was an aesthetic movement in the fine and decorative arts in the 18th century that found its inspiration in nature and fostered an overall lightness and delicacy of form, construction and ornament in interior design. Rococo furniture, while greatly influenced by trends in Italy and Germany, is often called Louis XV style — the movement having reached its best expression during that sybaritic French king’s reign.
The term “rococo” is thought to be a portmanteau of the French words rocaille and coquilles — “rock” and “shells” — organic motifs frequently used in architecture and design of the style.
When it comes to authentic Rococo furniture's characteristics, it is above all sensuous and social. The furniture of earlier eras in Europe had been heavy in every sense; the Rococo period saw the appearance of light-framed upholstered armchairs, side chairs and occasional tables that could easily be moved to form conversational circles.
The signal detail of Rococo furniture design is the gently curved cabriole, or S-shaped chair-, table-, and cabinet-leg. It imitates the bend of a tree limb or a flower stem. In a further reference to nature, furnishings were often asymmetrical and painted white, or in soft, pastel shades. Rococo has become a timeless style, and as the furniture pieces presented on 1stDibs demonstrate, its playful, sculptural forms can provide visual excitement to contemporary, clean-lined spaces.

18th Century Swedish Rococo Long Case Clock
Located in Kramfors, SE
Rococo long case clock from the late 18th century with its origin in northern Sweden. The clock is pine with scarped to original paint. The end of the skirt has a very nice typical rococo shape and transition to the feet. Hand carved wooden decor and original working lock and key on the door which is an unusual feature. The clock face has some loss of paint and there’s a small piece of the door missing on the inside – see detail picture. The loss of material does not effect function or stability.
The clock face has the dating 1885 and the signature AAS Mora. The dating is most likely from when the clock changed owners, either by inheritance or trough purchase. AAS stands for Anders Andersson...
