Antique Hand-Carved Cuckoo Clock, Black Forest ca. 1900

About the Item

Antique Hand-Carved Cuckoo Clock, Black Forest ca. 1900 A beautiful antique Black Forest cuckoo clock with numerous detailed carvings, a chamois with fawn on the roof of the clock, a Black Forest house to the left of the clock face and an ibex to the right of the clock face. The clock is also decorated with many carvings of edelweiss. The clock was created in southern Germany around 1900. The clockwork is in working order and was overworked by a professional cuckoo clock workshop, it has a quail that calls every quarter of an hour and a cuckoo that calls every hour. The tradition of wood carving, using manual skills to make everyday objects and fine art sculptures, is found throughout Europe. The incentive to create not only useful but also aesthetically beautiful things, distinguishes the craftsman from the artist. In addition to the well-known Swiss wood carving artists, others can also be named in Italy / Tyrol with Steiner, in Germany with Madel and in Austria with Heissl. Their wood-carving art works with sculptures, wall plaques and reliefs enhance any interior design. artfour is an owner-managed trading company dealing in Black Forest woodcarvings, antler furniture and an impressive variety of unique decorative items.
