This large and beautifully-carved cuckoo clock speaks of old-world charm and craftsmanship. The carving shows a still life of the life of a hunter. It’s dimensional carvings include hunting trophies, live game (including a beautifully carved bird and rabbit), a hunting horn, ammunition pouch, and guns, all surrounded by carved oak leaves.
When the clock strikes the hour or half-hour the door opens, a cuckoo appears and calls along with the clock’s gong strike.
This clock is hand made in the Black Forest in Germany. The mechanical brass movement is driven by two weights and time escapes with the tick of a traditional pendulum. The cuckoo call sound is made by two wooden whistles with bellows inside the clock case.
Even the packaging has old-world charm, as only paper is used. The factory packing is all made with renewable materials. This clock makes a great gift for the young and old alike. This clock would be perfect for those who love to hike or hunt.
This is one of a select few Black Forest clocks that can be special ordered with authentic hand-cut, bone hands and wooden weight shells. These special hands are hand cut from real animal bone, the same as they would have been in the Nineteenth Century. This option will only be offered on a few select pieces with the addition of beautiful wooden weight shells. Be sure to email us and ask for more information.
