<p>[QUOTE="lizjewel, post: 3732726, member: 13874"]Thanks for the ID of the movement and case, [USER=7724]@Fid[/USER]! Movements and casings were often imports to Sweden. Am not surprised that the movement and case holding this clock are French/Bretonne. The handpainted florals are very typical of Scandinvian tall clocks, especially from Mora.The face on the featured clock made me think of my wall clock, below, a Swedish-made <i>Pendyl</i> (Swedish), with a German movement by Gustav Becker. It was a wedding present to my parents from my father's parents in 1938. Gustav Becker movements were exported to many countries so clocks with Gustav Becker movements are numerous. e*B shows lots of GB movement. That a French movement is fitted in a Mora clock is therefore not unusual.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]313448[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
