About the Item

A late-18th-century Swedish Rococo clock dated 1787—a period-correct example that predates most Swedish clocks circulating on today’s market. The form is archetypal Rococo: full curves, a cinched waist, and an expressive base that reads almost figurative in silhouette. Its earlier date gives it a more refined, pre-Gustavian character, with softer lines and an organic lightness that later 19th-century versions lack. The painted surface shows age-appropriate wear but maintains coherence and charm. Original face and numerals remain, preserving historical integrity. This clock functions as both a timepiece and a sculptural object; its narrow profile and tall, flowing shape allow it to transform even simple spaces into curated environments. Buyers seeking authentic Swedish Rococo—rather than provincial or later interpretations—will recognize the value immediately. A rare date, an elegant form, and strong decorative impact.
