8-Day Black Forest Hunter Cuckoo Clock with Stag, Rifles, and Dancers
This 8-day Black Forest cuckoo clock by August Schwer is a masterful example of the traditional hunting style, richly carved after an antique model and finished in dark walnut stain. The case is adorned with forest leaves and crowned by a mounted stag’s head with crossed rifles, symbolizing the heritage of the Black Forest huntsman. At the top, the cuckoo bird emerges from its door on the hour and half-hour, followed by dancers in traditional dress who spin on the balcony to the melodies of the music box.
Around the dial, elaborate carvings reinforce the hunting motif. A rabbit and pheasant rest on opposite sides, framed against oak leaves that continue throughout the design. A carved hunting horn encircles the clock face, while a traditional powder pouch hangs below the base, completing the motif. The craftsmanship, attention to detail, and bold style make this clock both a functional timepiece and a dramatic decorative centerpiece.
With alternating melodies (Edelweiss and The Happy Wanderer), automatic night shut-off, and authentic handcrafted design, this hunting cuckoo clock is a timeless heirloom that reflects the artistry of August Schwer and the heritage of Black Forest tradition.
