Swedish tall-case clock or the descriptive name “Mora” clock. In Swedish antiques, the first important item collectors think of and want is the Mora clock. There are many different shapes and it seems that every province has its own style. The clock above is from Jamtland, Sweden. The real Mora clock is from the province of Dalarna where it all began in the 18th century. It was formed as a cottage endeavor and each family made a certain part of the mechanism. These clocks were sold at a marketplace and the buyers were not concerned if it was working or not they wanted the clock as a beautiful piece of art that would enhance their surroundings. I have seen several clocks signed “AAS” which I now find out is Krang Anders Andersson(1727-1799). Please note: more information will be added over time
