Where can I buy a Mora Clock in the USA?

Generally the good quality Mora Clocks are shipped from Europe in to the USA and the companies that go that can be found by Googling 'Gustavian Mora Clocks' or 'Swedish Mora Clocks USA'

 

Where did Mora Clocks come from?

Mora Clocks originally came from the Darlarna Province of Sweden in the late 17th and early 18th Century. They are believed to have been originally made in the town of Mora (which gave its name to this style of clock). Regional variations in Mora Clocks exist depending upon location. For example Mora Clocks from the North of Sweden tend to be very tall whilst those from the South are slightly more ornately carved.

  

Are Mora Clocks an investment?

Mora clocks are becoming increasingly rare and were made for only about 50 years and sold by 'journey men' who travelled around Sweden selling them. The mechanisms of most more clocks were fairly basic. When cheaper more reliable clocks were imported into Sweden (principally German clocks) this cottage industry died out. They are principally bought for their style and uniqueness. More specialist Mora Clocks that have been made by a super clocksmith (generally Stockholm based) and ornately decorated are very rare and should appreciate in value as genuine antiques.
