Cuckoo clock with a Forest scene and Woodchopper

This Cuckoo clock represents the Woodchopper's House. This is a fine example of a traditional Black Forest House, with the steep pitched roof made from hand spliced shingle tiles and with a Bell Tower on the top. The Woodchopper raises his axe as the Cuckoo calls. Other decoration includes a Fir tree, water pump and ladder. There is a platform of hand painted dancers that turn to the twin melody of Edelweiss and the Happy wanderer. Wooden dial, hands, cuckoo. 8 day rack-strike movement with a cuckoo call on the half and full hour. Manual night shut-off.
