Antique Oak Cuckoo Clock Mantle Case For Restoration
This is an antique oak cuckoo clock mantle case without movement for a possible restoration project.
The cuckoo house lives on top of the case which houses a cuckoo with articulating wings and beak.
One top finial is missing; the other finial along with the cuckoo house has separated from the case and needs re-gluing.
A pair of bellows resides in the case and both work/coo.
The case would have housed a spring driven Black Forest movement.
The moldings on the case appear complete and in good order.
There may be toothed/decorative moldings missing on either side of the cuckoo house.
The case measures 14½ inches from the base to the tip of the finial on top of the cuckoo house. It is 8 inches wide at the base and 5 inches deep. The dial aperture is approx. 2 and 7/8 inches in diameter. The back door opening is 6¾ inches high and 4½ inches wide. The cuckoo house is 2 and 3/16 inches wide and 2¾ inches deep. The case weighs 890g.
A worthwhile project, particularly if you have a movement to suit.
The case is in good overall condition with no woodworm.
