It has just come straight from a private collection fresh to the open market and has just been professionally serviced after being stored away for over 60 years and was never even looked at. It comes totally fresh to the market and an ultra rare find in fine beautiful condition  

 This clock is an extremely high quality antique black forest carved walnut triple train musical 4 tune automation zither player and cuckoo bracket clock of superb proportions and of the highest quality imaginable in beautiful condition and a stunning colour and patina to the walnut

The case is probably one of the very finest i have ever seen in a cuckoo clock. The theme and carvings are truly superb with superb attention to detail as i am sure you can see from the pictures and video. The top of the case features a eagle attacking a stag with some of the best detail and definition i have ever seen in any carvings very chunky and the carvings make everything look 3d  The case has various leaf, bamboo and rocky designs which i am sure you can all see in the pictures with block work design to the front surrounding the dial with 2 lots of double doors to the top of the front. One which the automation zither player pops out off on the hour as the musical tune is playing. The other the automaton cuckoo pops out of to cuckoo once on the half hour and counting the hours on the hour. The cuckoo has fully automaton wings & beak which all moves as it cuckoos The case has a hinged door to each side of the clock to provide viewing access to the movement either side with a removable back cover to the case
The case is in excellent beautiful condition with some of the best hand carved themes i have seen on a cuckoo clock with superb attention to detail all over. The clock really has to be seen in the flesh to fully appreciate it

The solid walnut case has a stunning colour and patina to it which can only be acquired through age. This is exactly how i have received it and it looks 1000% more impressive in the flesh, the carvings are of the highest quality and really stand out when on display The cuckoo clock is not signed although it is almost definitely by Johan Baptiste Beha or Gordian Hettich Sohn absolutely screams quality all over. I dont think you will find another one like it and is probably unique with extremely rare features to case and movement. I certainly have never seen another one quite like it. The clock is all totally original with case, dial, movement all belonging to each other and all started life together exactly how you see it   

   The clock features a 6.5 inch diam original dial with hand carved roman numerals to the chapter ring and finely hand carved hands. The dial is in excellent clean mint condition  

  The clock has an extremely rare cuckoo clock movement. First of all it has 3 spring trains which are wound daily one which powers the timekeeping, one which powers the automaton cuckoo bird on the half hour and full hour and the other one which powers the fantastic automaton zither player and 4 air music barrel which plays on the hour The movement has a 1 day duration with the cuckoo bird popping out of the right hand side double door to front and cuckoos once on the half hour and counts the hours on the hour as well as striking a gong which is located on the back door. The cuckoo bird is fully automated with automation moving wings and beak.  The movement also plays 4 different musical tunes. It plays one full tune on the hour and this musical tune changes every hour and goes back to the first one after 4 hours. When the music plays there is also an automaton zither player which pops out of the left hand side double doors until the musical tune finishes. All this can be seen in the video above along with the 4 different musical tunes. There is a paper label on the back door which names each of the 4 tunes The movement also benefits from 2 pull repeat strings which come out of the bottom of the clock. The right hand side one is for putting the cuckoos into sync and the left hand side one is for playing a musical tune on demand. When you pull it, it plays the full musical tune. Pull it again and it plays the next musical tune and so on until it plays the 4 different ones then it goes back to the first one. I have never seen a 4 air cuckoo clock before and never seen a zither player automation one. Super super rare cuckoo clock
The movement is in perfect working order and has just been professionally cleaned and serviced. The musical barrel and comb has also been professionally cleaned, polished and serviced so the musical tunes are absolutely spot on and like music to the ears The main mechanism was sympathetically restored and cleaned with all bushing work and pivots done. Everything is totally original down to the bellows which are also the original bellows which have been re-skinned using similar skin that was used back then. The bellows sound absolutely fantastic as i am sure you can hear in the video above  The movement ticks away beautifully with its original cow tail shaped pendulum and original winding key and the cuckoo bird and musical tunes are like music to the ears as you can ear in the video above with all the automations working perfectly exactly how they should The movement comes with a 6 months return to base warranty for extra piece of mind, please the terms and conditions below   The clock has superb proportions measuring 27 inches high x 17.5 inches wide x 11.5 inches deep and looks absolutely stunning wherever it is displayed   Maker: Certainly Johan baptist Beha or Gordian Hettich Sohn Circa: 1850   This is a perfect investment clock and a beautiful display piece. Looks absolutely fantastic wherever it is displayed and a true talking point of any room. Exceptional clock which will only grow significantly in value over the years and you will not find another one like it  Important Please Read: ALL antique clocks after transport no matter how well they have been looked after or serviced may require setting up, adjustments and setting into beat when you receive them and i always recommend a professional or an experienced clock person to do this correctly for you. Unfortunately with some clocks it is not a matter of unpacking them, putting the pendulum on and away they go, some clocks will need the extra adjustments and setting into beat so please remember this before bidding. Most clocks will be ok and will not need any additional adjustments but please bear in mind this may not be the case. Any clocks returned because of setting up issues or adjustments needed after transit then a fee will be applicable.
