Antique provincial Mora longcase grandfather clock original painted Swedish 1785

DESCRIPTION:

Antique Swedish Empire MORA grandfather clock with carved hand shaped pine long case with original working 8 day movement. 

The tall case in typical provincial painted pine wood waxed finish in the Gustavian late 18th century manner.'

Of typical form  with drumhead top but more elegant tapering body with lunette window.

The Swedish Mora clock first appeared in Sweden during the Gustavian Period in the mid-eighteenth century. Farmers in the Mora area wanted to look for ways to supplement their income. The villagers of Östnor just outside Mora, turned to traditional home crafts such as the making of clocks. This was essential work as the long frozen winter months restricted work to indoor activities. Each farming family specialized in a specific part: some made the brass clockworks, some painted the dials while others built or painted the cases. The dial is painted "A A S " and Mora for  Krång Anders Andersson (1727-1799) of Östnor.

At the height of production more than 90 families were engaged in the trade and Mora functioned as one large clock factory. This traditional hand made craft eventually ceased when cheaper mass production clocks from America became available from the 1840's onwards.

The steel and brass clock mechanism with  top mounted twin bells and two cast iron weights. The bell strikes the hour count. A recently replaced long brass pendulum is housed within the case. The clock face with hand painted enamel face with numerals in black on white with the superb cut brass hands .

Two train movement with winding key. The door to the pendulum case with original lunette window .

The drum head shaped top with opening front door retains it original hand blown convex glass front.

The main body with a unusual neoclassical pyramidic shape and hinged panel door with window front

The shaped pine mouldings to the case in the provincial manner complete with pegged joints in 18th century tradition. .
