Large Musical Black Forest Cuckoo Clock

1940 - 1960
For Sale by Cross Antiques
Description

A 20th Cent Black Forest Cuckoo clock of impressive large size. It has the unusual feature of a small music box that plays on the hour and half hour. It is all carved wood and except for a couple of minor repairs is in good condition. All the wood animals are nicely carved and have glass eyes.

The weight driven movement is in working order but this type of clocks were never meant to be fine timepieces. A weak point is often the cuckoo bellows but these have recently been replaced. The music box and cuckoo mechanism are working ok but I can’t get the LH door with the little man in an arm chair to operate correctly, I will keep trying.

The maximum dimensions are:

87cm (34“) high

56cm (22“) wide

41cm (16“) deep

National and international delivery arranged at cost. However due to the fragile nature of this type of clock we would prefer collection.

FAQs

Hunting style cuckoo clocks, traditionally known as Jagdstuck pieces, originate from the Black Forest region of Germany and feature elaborate hand-carved motifs of game animals, crossed rifles, powder horns, and stag head crests surrounding the clock dial.

These clocks were predominantly hand-carved from locally sourced lindenwood or lime wood due to its fine grain, which was then stained in deep brown shades. The mechanical movements were built using brass and iron gears, suspended by heavy cast metal weights shaped like pinecones.

Authentic pieces usually feature hand-carved wooden dials with applied bone or wooden Roman numerals, mechanical brass movements rather than quartz, hand-chiseled wooden bellows for the cuckoo sound, and carved wooden hands instead of plastic components.

Mount the clock on a neutral-toned focal wall, such as painted plaster, exposed brick, or wood panelling, allowing the dark timber carvings and suspended weights to draw visual interest in a hallway, library, or living room.

Keep the clock away from direct sunlight, radiators, and high humidity to prevent wood warping. Periodically dust the carvings with a soft brush and have the mechanical movement cleaned and lubricated by a professional horologist every three to five years.
