AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This cuckoo clock is a classic specimen of the Black Forest artisanal tradition, a German region famous for its clockmaking mastery since the eighteenth century. Its structure imitates a small Alpine cabin with a gabled roof, carved in wood and decorated with oak leaves painted in green and brown tones, a recurring symbol in the designs of this school.
The front features a dial with Roman numerals and ornate hands, marking 8:25. Above it, the cuckoo doors remain closed, awaiting the activation of the mechanism. Two pinecone-shaped weights hang from chains, an essential part of the gravity-driven movement system. The pendulum, still to be installed, is the final piece that will enable the clock's full operation, regulating the rhythm of the chimes and the cuckoo’s exit.
This type of clock is not only functional but also decorative, evoking the romance of the German forests and the value of craftsmanship. Its condition indicates that it is complete and in good working order, ready to start running once the pendulum is installed.
Certified shipping and good packaging.
