Portico clock - Söderström - - Mahogany - 1850-1900

The clock pictured on the porch (often also referred to as a mantel clock or table clock) is kept in the Biedermeier or neoclassical style. Clocks of this type were extremely popular in Europe, dating from 1820–1850, so it is very old.
Construction: The case takes the form of a portico supported by columns, which is typical of design from the early 19th century (circa 1820–1850).
Materials: Most likely made of wood (often mahogany or ebonized pear) with decorative elements in gilded bronze or brass.
Details: The clock features an enamel dial with Roman or Arabic numerals and a decorative pendulum, often in the shape of a sun.
Origin: Inscriptions on the dial (suggesting a city such as Stockholm) may indicate a specific clockmaking workshop. The dial visible in the photo was signed by Swedish craftsman A. Söderström of Stockholm.
This is a classic example of Scandinavian clockmaking craftsmanship, most likely from the 18th century or the first half of the 19th century. The style of the lettering and the distinctive ornate minute hand are typical of clocks from this period, commonly found in Swedish Mora wall clocks or luxurious Gustavian-style clocks. The clock is functional but needs replacement of the escapement components.
