Lot #71: Hand-Painted German Chalet Cuckoo Clock

This traditional German chalet-style cuckoo clock is a charming example of classic Black Forest folk design. Crafted from wood and richly hand-painted, it features a decorative alpine house façade with floral motifs, carved trim, and a scalloped roofline. The vibrant colors and folk-art detailing give the clock strong visual presence and authentic old-world character. Above the dial, two small figurines in traditional dress stand within arched openings, adding movement and narrative charm typical of mid-century souvenir and decorative cuckoo clocks. The shield-shaped lower case is adorned with hand-painted flowers, centered by a round dial marked “Germany,” reinforcing its origin and export-era appeal. Well suited for wall display, this piece works beautifully in rustic, cottage, or European-inspired interiors and is especially appealing to collectors of German clocks, Black Forest décor, and vintage folk art.
