Nice German Black Forest 2 Tune Music Dancers Mountain Chalet Wood Cuckoo Clock

We have a large number of vintage and antique clocks currently listed along with an equally impressive collection of music boxes and other very nice antique and vintage collectibles. Be sure to have a look at our. This is an outstanding find of a beautiful, working, animated, musical mountain chalet cuckoo clock that was created in the Black Forest of "Germany" about 50 years ago.

The clock is made to look like an old Burgermeister City Hall and features hand carved trim from cured and aged Linden wood which is grown nearly exclusively at certain altitudes of the Black Forest. There is scrolled, beveled wooden trim under the roof line and a fancy wooden balcony with wooden scallops just above the dial. There are four colorful dance couples mounted on a rotating dance platform just behind the balcony. The lower balcony is also hand carved and very fancy featuring a colorful Black Forest man holding an accordian sitting on a stump on the left edge and a colorful Black Forest lady is featured on the right edge...

Looks like an old fashioned serenade to me. The dial has a black backdrop and features raised Roman numerals to mark the hours and matching fancy hands to point out the time. The back is wood too and secured with a metal latch. It removes to allow access to the all metal, mechanical, weight driven movement inside the case marked Made in Germany.

A weight driven movement simply means that the chains need to be pulled occasionally to wind the clock, music and animation, and cuckoo activity. The bellow or whistle tubes look good and sound good too. At the bottom of each hour, a colorful bird opens the small green wooden door above the dance floor and stands in the doorway.

He gives off a single cuckoo sound in tandem with a coiled cathedral chime inside the case and then retreats back inside and closes the door. When he is safely inside, the dance floor begins to turn and the dance couples spin about while a high quality, "Cuendet Swiss" music box plays a beautiful rendition of Braham's Waltz. The dancing stops when the music stops and they wait for the next opportunity. The bird reappears at the top of the hour and correctly cuckoos and chimes the current number of hours and then goes back inside the case and closes the door behind him. When he is safely inside, the dance platform begins to turn once again and the dancers spin about as the Swiss music box plays a extraordinary rendition of "Old Vienna, " one of my all-time favorite tunes; absolutely fascinating clock to watch and hear! The clock works just fine here, keeps good time, cuckoos as it was designed to do, and the music is wonderful! Keep in mind this is an old clock and we don't know the service history so some adjustments or service may be needed once the clock arrives at its new home. The movement does show signs of maintenance but regardless, we always advise our clock customers to service their vintage or antique clocks at least once every three years. Doing so will preserve a classic clock like this one and keep it running strong for years to come. The clock comes complete as shown with three sets of attached metal chains, a chalet style pendulum, and three heavy pinecone shaped metal weights. Ive looked the clock over fairly well and cant find any damage, old repairs, or missing pieces. The clock is gorgeous on display and shows only average or less signs of use. The clock is an impressive size too measuring about 11" high (not counting the weights or pendulum), about 6 1/2" at its deepest point, and about 10 across the top.

This clock would be the focal point in any collection and is certain to captivate the imagination of anyone seeing or hearing it in your home, office or wherever it is that you care to showcase a very nice, animated, musical German timepiece with a solid history behind it.
