Description

Black Forest two-weight cuckoo, ca. 1900? A 20-inch case with parquet inlay on the front, which for me is the main attraction. I am not certain the carved leaf crest, drop finials, and pendulum are original – they don’t match the side and bottom carvings. The hands are replacements. On the positive side, the bellows have been replaced as has the cuckoo; it is running, striking, and the bird is singing, weakly, on cue. No manufacturer information on the case or the brass movement. This is a one-day clock. $100–$250.
