Black forest pendulum clock - Wood - 1850-1900 - Black Forest

Antique Black Forest Clock – 1850-1860
This beautiful and historic Black Forest clock is a unique piece of heritage that I inherited from my uncle, who came from Germany. This clock, believed to date from 1850-1860, is a true masterpiece of artisanal craftsmanship and represents the rich tradition of clockmaking from the Black Forest region.
The clock features a wooden case with hand-carved decorations and a mechanical movement that functioned up to my uncle’s death. Unfortunately, we had to temporarily dismantle the clock for transport, but I assume it will run again after restoration.

History:
This clock holds special emotional significance, as it has been in our family for generations. In my uncle’s documents we found an old photo with a note confirming the dating. It is a wonderful example of the artisanal clocks made in the 19th century in the Black Forest, renowned worldwide for their quality and craftsmanship.
Ideal for collectors of antique clocks or enthusiasts of Black Forest heritage.
