  • Swedish Gustavian Period Carved and Polychrome Painted Signed Mora Clock
    By Mora
    Located in Wiscasset, ME
    One of the finest signed examples of a late 18th century Swedish Mora long case clock that we have seen. The decorative carving is exquisite and the paint is early and probably original.
