This voluptuous weathered robin's egg blue clock is a show stopper. From its large round face that is surrounded with carved leaf details, to its exaggerated rounded case this clock is a real beauty. The finish is scraped back to tones of soft blue and worn cream and grey. When you open the glass window on the face of the clock, you can still see antique Swedish ephemera glued to the inside, giving this piece added provenance and history. This clock is circa 1820.

These items are antique and therefore show signs of wear and patinas consistent with their age and history and are sold “as is.” The clock mechanisms are generally basic and rustic in nature. They do not resemble the refined mechanisms of clockmakers of today. As such, they cannot be described as reliable timepieces and are often bought for their style, appearance, and character. While the clock mechanism works, they are sold on the understanding it is not made to the same standards of modern-day clock movements and may require balancing to even the pendulum swing and servicing/cleaning to ensure its continued working.
