This is a great find of a beautiful hand carved, traditional cuckoo clock that was created about 20 years ago in the Black Forest of Villingen, "Germany" by "Johann Engstler," one of the finest clock making families in this region of the world. This traditional clock is ornately detailed and has a stunning, blended dark walnut finish! It is the ideal size too measuring about 9 1/2" high (not counting the weights or pendulum), about 5 1/2" at its deepest point, and about 7" at its widest point. The clock is carved the old world, high standard way from cured and aged Linden wood which is grown nearly exclusively at certain altitudes of the Black Forest.The clock front is designed to look like an intricate grape vine and adorned with five, large, deeply carved, wavy wooden grape leaves and a vining branch too; very nice! There is a beautifully hand carved, large wooden bird perched atop the clock looking as though he is ready to take flight.The wooden dial has a woodtone backdrop and features easy to read Roman numerals to mark the hours and a pair of matching, fancy hands to point out the time. The back door is wood too and secured with a metal latch.It removes to allow access to the movement to change the three C batteries. The movement bears the Engstler name and Germany point of origin. The clock works fine here and keeps good time but there is a bird who is supposed to open the dutch doors above the dial and cuckoo the current number of hours before going back inside and closing the door. He isn't cooperating and I don't know why. There is a "Music" option on the switch panel on the right side of the case but that doesn't appear to produce sound; not sure why. So have it repaired, repair it yourself, or leave it the way it is. Keep in mind this is not a new clock though it looks like one. It is an older clock and we don't know the service history or how it was used. The clock comes complete as shown with two sets of attached metal chains, a fancy, carved wood grape leaf pendulum, and two faux pinecone shaped weights.I’ve looked the clock over fairly well and find less than average wear for this clock and no damage or missing parts. It is truly a breathtaking clock and is just gorgeous on display! This clock is a wonderful look back at the greatness of Black Forest workmanship and is certain to capture the imagination of anyone seeing or hearing it in your home, office or wherever it is that you care to showcase a classic Black Forest timepiece with a solid history behind it. Have the music and cuckoo repaired, repair it yourself, or leave it the way it is. Regardless, offer with absolute confidence; I know you'll love this clock!
