Germany, Black Forest, very large musical cuckoo clock with romantic forest motif, weight driven, time and strike movement of one day duration with music box. Total height with weights showing is nearly five feet, extra fine detail on the grouse, grazing deer and crest of oak leaves. Cast iron weights simulate pine cones. Balance of trim is carved oak leaves, acorns, ferns, mushrooms, 3 dimensional moss and pine trees. Articulated cuckoo bird with moving beak and wings and hand painted zither player. Heavy cast brass lyre movement with quality music box. Overall a rare and exceptional piece.
