Description
The linden wood heavily carved case is approx. 48 inches tall including antlers. (45 inches with antlers removed), 24 inches wide and 10 inches deep. The moose deer head on top is quality carved with good detail as is the other carvings. 8.5 inches dial, good numbers and fancy original bone hands. Old pine cone weights and old 21 inches long pendulum with two carved leaves for the pendulum bob. Good old hand carved bird. The nicely hand carved wood antlers are not old but were made correctly. A few small cracks repaired with some leaf tips repaired. The overall condition is very good for a clock this old. 1- day time and strike movement runs but should be oiled or serviced. Not too often is an old quality Black Forest clock of this size offered for sale. A good reference book is "Black Forest Clocks" by Rick Ortenburger.
