AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This figurine is a Black Forest Uhrenträger, a type of German figurative clock.
Key Information
Type of object: It is a fantasy clock (or peddler's clock), known as Uhrenmännchen or Uhrenträger in German.
Origin: These watches are typical of the Black Forest (Schwarzwald) region in Germany, famous for its watchmaking tradition, which also produces cuckoo clocks.
The figurine depicts a peddler or a clock merchant, wearing a small dial clock on his chest. The movement is generally a Zappler movement, characterized by its small visible balance wheel oscillating in front of the dial, often under a glass dome.
Materials: They are often made of cold-painted cast iron or cast metal, sometimes in wood.
Period: Old examples often date back to around 1900, although reproductions were made later, up until the 1960s-1970s.
