RARE BLACK FOREST WALL TRIPLE FUSEE CUCKOO CLOCK 19th.

The cuckoo clock is the most popular form of ornamental and decorative clock we known today. A expensive favorite souvenir of travelers in Swiss, Austria, and they were made most in  Switzerland, and particularly the Black Forest region of Germany. The clock is prized for a number of its features. The outer worked wood case is usually made of beautiful dark wood that is intricately carved with folk and forest scenes. The two charming carved bird pops out of a door to sing the hour in a melodic "Cuckoo!Cuckoo!" call every quarter hour. He is often introduced or followed by a parade of townspeople, forest creatures, or other animals that circle through another door and seem to celebrate the passing of every hour and the timelessness of their carefully crafted clock home. Inside the clock, a finely made set of brass clockworks controls the time-telling. Three weights shaped like pine cones that dangle from the ends of chains and a pendulum that is tipped with a leaf add to the traditional appearance, although these are only decorative on modern clocks that are spring-driven.
