Antique Bornholmer Longcase Clock-Green

Bornholm, a small island in the Baltic Sea off the coast of Sweden, has been known historically as a thriving community of artists and craftsmen. Longcase clocks like this, equivalent to the Swedish Mora clocks and patterned based on the Grandfather’s clock of Britain, is a classic Scandinavian piece borne of the rich Bornholmer design tradition. Majestic in green, this rare 19th-century clock is a beauty made from pine, decorated with quartz columns, intricate festoons, and a carved drape. The enamel clock face surrounded by laurel wreath features hand-painted Roman numerals and topped with a gallery crown.
