Rococo Style Clock from the County of Dalarna, Sweden, Original Paint, Dated 1841

A Rococo-form Swedish longcase clock with documented date of 1841 and original paint—a combination that immediately puts it into a more serious collector category. The exaggerated curves, cinched waist, and sculptural base are typical of the Dalarna region, where rural craftsmen interpreted Rococo ornamentation with a more organic, less courtly hand. The original painted surface is a major value driver: the layered pigments, age-softened tones, and visible brushwork create authenticity that modern reproductions cannot imitate. The clock retains its original face and hands, and the proportions are especially elegant—tall, sinuous, and visually balanced. This is the kind of Swedish clock that works equally well in minimalist interiors, rustic Scandinavian settings, or refined European-inspired rooms. Its sculptural presence gives it the impact of a standalone art object while maintaining the warmth of a regional folk piece. A strong example for buyers seeking true period Swedish Rococo.
