Swedish Gustavian Longcase Clock
With its clean lines and beautiful dry-scraped finish, this lovely Swedish Gustavian longcase clock is sure to be the focal point of any room. The fluted motif along the body of the column, a quintessential example of Gustavian design, is very on point with today’s modern design trends. The clock’s iron face is overlaid with plaster and features hand-painted Roman numerals bordered by a simple triangle pattern around the perimeter. Although the clock is not currently working, there is no reason why it couldn’t run again.
