Aren't these clocks beautiful? These are 17th and 18th century Mora clocks from Sweden. They get their name from the village of Mora in Stockholm. The clocks were given as a wedding gifts, and the curvy shape of the clock was inspired by the lines of bride's wedding dress. Mora clocks are often painted in cream colors, light blue and pale green.
One day I will own one of these.
