Unknown Clocks

Top quality, hand carved and truly impressive antique clock with 8 music melodies. Over the years we have had the pleasure of owning and selling a number of beautiful Black Forest antiques, but never did we come accross a 19th century Black Forest clock with musical box of this size and with such amazing natural details and patina AND with the original clock and music box inside. And if that was not enough, this finest of Black Forest clocks is top quality carved from top to bottom in the form of a detailed Swiss chalet. Mind you, this very rare antique clock is entirely hand carved out of nutwood only, which is another sign of the quality of the workmanship and the richness of materials. We have added a large variety of photos so that you can see the many incredibly detailed parts of this Swiss chalet, such as the roof and chimney, the many doors, the stacked lumber outside, the doghouse, the outhouse on the side, the striking balconies, the goose sticking its head out through the balcony, the picked fence, the ladder going up to the barn loft, the clock inside the facade of the house, the music box cilinder in the base etc etc. This antique clock from the 1800s really comes with the most realistically carved chalet house you will ever see. To us, that too is a sign that this Black Forest music box...

Rare and great folk-art workmanship mantel clock for the collectors and enthousiasts. Over the years we have had the pleasure of owning and selling a number of beautiful Black Forest antiques, but never did we come accross a 19th century Black Forest, Folk Art table clock of this design and subject matter and with such amazing natural organic details. This small church or chapel-like 'clockhouse' is entirely handcrafted out of all kinds of wood, but the most eye-catching is ofcourse the organic root wood. Each piece is like an abstract sculpture and depending on how you see things, they may look like one thing to you, but like something completely different to the next person. Because of all the natural materials that were used this small church has a stunning organic look and feel, but what really takes it to another level is the bell striking mechanism. Every six hours the church bell will ring many times, the door on the left will open at every 'strike', revealing the original monk sculpture inside (as shown in the attached video in this listing). With the hand carved crucifix on the right side being made of the same color and materials, it totally blends in with the entire organic design of this Christian antique. Over the many decades this good size and rare antique clock has also grown the most amazing patina and with the natural beauty and unique artisanship that it radiates people will want to stop and study its uniqueness. This work-of-art-table-clock comes with a single day clock mechanism, protected from dust by the original 'back door'. It runs and strikes perfectly and comes with an antique key for winding it. Apart from a few minor imperfections, this rare antique is in excellent condition, which makes it perfect for lovers of unique and rare clocks in general and for Black Forest and Christian Folk Art collectors in particular. Mind you, our fair price for this sizable antique cuckoo clock...

A refined American-made grandfather clock by Ridgeway, model 9109, crafted in the early 1990s and presented in a warm oak case with traditional bonnet-top architecture. This example features a richly molded arched pediment, fluted columns, and a well-proportioned case that reflects classic Georgian influence. The brass dial is fitted with an illuminated moon phase arch, enhanced by a starry sky that softly glows when lit—an especially desirable feature that adds depth and ambiance in low light. The engraved dial is complemented by applied Arabic numerals and ornate corner spandrels, lending visual clarity and decorative richness. Powered by a German cable-driven movement, this clock offers three classic chime selections—Westminster, Whittington, and St. Michael’s—with an optional silent mode. The weight-driven mechanism ensures traditional mechanical operation and long-term reliability. The electrical cord present operates only the interior lighting system; the timekeeping and chime functions are entirely mechanical. The case interior is illuminated, showcasing a polished brass lyre pendulum and three cylindrical weights behind a glass-paneled door. The clock remains a strong decorative and functional statement piece, suitable for both traditional and transitional interiors. *We have a lifetime warranty on this clock. If anything goes wrong with it in the future, we will pay to have it fixed. Details Maker: Ridgeway Clock...
