Oh My – Moooi Gallery + Swedish Antiques
I have no idea why I have missed this design institution in Amsterdam called Moooi Gallery. But I almost feel I want to hop on a plane now. Not only does Moooi Gallery showcase products from some of the best within Dutch design, as well as other recognized designers, but they also contrast their contemporary funishings with sprinkles of beautiful 18th century antiques from – YES!, you guessed it – Sweden! Here you see once again (and you have heard me rant about this since the very beginning of my blog adventure) how beautifully Swedish antiques, with their simple lines and quiet look (especially the pieces with gray patina), work with modern pieces of today. I can go on about this all day long!
I see some antique Swedish beauties in the background.
But this is when I start to hyperventilate…. I have a few lovely antique pieces myself. But there is one piece I have always wanted, and I hope to one day be the lucky owner of. That is a Swedish antique clock cabinet. I almost fainted when I saw this stunning piece over at the Moooi Gallery.
Here are a few clock cabinets for sale, represented by US antique dealers with great reputation.

If, no when, an antique clock cabinet moves in with us, I will pair it with a really nice and comfy chair and a wonderful painting. That’s it. Nothing else is needed. And I would sit in that chair for hours and purr like a very content cat! Happy Monday, friends!

I thought I’d seen everything, but I have to admit, I don’t think I have ever seen one of those clock cabinets.
Hej !
Det är underbara klockskåp ! Ja tack, jag vill gärna också ha ett hemma
Tror aldrig att jag har sett några liknande möbler någonsin. Det är roligt att ha upptäckt något nytt.
Ha det underbart !

Hi Monika!
Just wrap up the PINK clock chest for me and I’ll give you my UPS account number. Those Swedish pieces are so interesting, and I’m not a pink girl but I like that one!!! The rug in the first shot of the Moooi is gorgeous too…..Maryanne xo
I would like all of the light fixtures in this post, please. Thank you.
That is a great combination of today and yesterday… Mooi is a great company and those Swedish antiques blend perfectly with their products…
OMG I want to go there now!
I am so with you on the clock cabinets. I am a huge fan myself and have been drooling over your post!
My father got rid of an old ‘grandma clock’ that had been in our family for years.. He did it without telling anyone and I nearly fell over..
