SWEDEN

Fine 19th Century Swedish Gilt-Wood Antique Clock

8445

Fine quality 19th century Swedish Linderoth Stockholme gilt-wood wall clock in excellent original condition. The carved, pierced and gilded pediment crest carved in the form of flowers and ribbons is supported by a circular clock-face with the original engraved ormolu (gilded bronze) hands, further supported by neoclassical motifs including columns and suns. This clock needs only to be cleaned and re-set. Footnote: Gustav III reigned within Sweden from 1772 – 1792, and while the Gustavian style predates his reign, he became a patriot for the visual arts and was considered responsible for the proliferation of the style during this period. The early Gustavian style was dominated and influenced by neoclassical and later bore strong Italian influences after the excavation of Pompei. Gustav spent two years in France from 1770, where he developed a taste for neo-classical design. The early designs were strongly influenced by the Louis XVI style, although could also be said to have Dutch, German and even English influences as well.

Circa: 1875

Wallrocks only buy antiques that are sound. We are able to do this because we buy them in original condition and it provides the significant advantage of being able to see what has and has not been done to a piece over time. It is to our customers absolute benefit that we do this. It allows us to see, whether the quality or integrity has been compromised?

Wallrocks have very strict buying criteria…

  • The furniture must be antique, and if not it needs to be of an unsually high standard to justify being purchased;
  • Antiques must be of a very high quality;
  • Our antiques must have correct proportion;
  • Importantly, they must have integrity and aesthetic appeal.

While these criteria might seem obvious, it is difficult to find furniture that satisfy all of them at once.
