Mid 19th Century Swedish Pine Long Case Mora Clock

19th century
Description

Mid 19th century swedish pine long case mora clock circa 1850.

Large swedish long case mora clock, presented in scraped back paint.

Scraped back down to reveal a partial colour of it's original paint.  typical with these types of clocks is that they often painted over a few times during their lifetime.

Removable hood with opening door and domed handmade glass.  enamel round dial, with hand painted arabic numerals, signed by the maker jon sobman, with the area of wexio, which is likely to be an old spelling of växjö.  main pine built body, with door to the front which allows access to the pendulum.  standing on bracket feet.

Original movement currently has no pulleys, but doe's strike when moved by hand, original pendulum supplied, but no weights.  clock is an ideal candidate to be fitted with a quartz movement for accurate time keeping.  this could be done for an extra £200.  small crack to the original hood glass, but seems to be stable.  minor age splits and areas of fill to woodwork.

This mid-19th century Swedish Mora longcase clock in a Scandinavian country style stands 226 cm high, 62.8 cm wide, and 25.4 cm deep. The piece is constructed from pine, glass, brass, and iron, and displays a distressed blue and scraped-back painted finish that reveals partial layers of original paint underneath. The pine body has an hourglass silhouette, a removable hood with domed handmade glass bearing a small stable crack, and a circular glass lenticle on the front door to view the pendulum. The white enamel round dial features hand-painted Arabic numerals signed by the maker Jon Sobman from Wexio, alongside brass hands. Minor age splits, areas of wood fill, and bracket feet complete the structure, which contains the original movement without pulleys or weights, and the original pendulum. In a contemporary home, this rustic farmhouse longcase clock suits placement in an empty corner of a hallway, living room, or study. The clock serves as a striking decorative floor-standing timepiece while offering the option for a quartz movement conversion for accurate timekeeping. The weathered wooden surface and traditional Swedish proportions bring historic architectural character to neutral or vintage-inspired interiors without requiring extensive floor space.

FAQs

Mora clocks originated in the Mora region of Dalarna, Sweden, during the late 18th century. Local farm families developed a cottage industry manufacturing specific parts of the clocks, creating a unique regional craft tradition that continued through the 19th century.

Mora clocks were primarily constructed using local softwoods, predominantly pine. The cases were hand-painted in muted washes or distress-painted techniques, housing mechanical eight-day or thirty-hour clockworks made of brass and iron.

Authentic Mora clocks are recognised by their distinct rounded, hourglass-shaped body silhouette, white painted dial face, glass observation aperture on the belly, and hand-carved wooden hood moldings.

Designers frequently position Mora clocks in entryways, stairwells, or empty corners as architectural focal points, where their soft pastel paint finishes complement contemporary Scandinavian, modern rustic, or classic country decor.

Painted pine longcase clocks should be kept in stable humidity environments away from direct heat sources. Surfaces should be dusted with a dry, soft cloth, avoiding water or chemical solvents that could damage historic painted finishes.
