Item Details
Description
Exceptional Carved Walnut Cuckoo Clock with Nature Morte Carving

fourth quarter 19th century, the chapter ring set with enamel numerals, flanked with a hare and a grouse, framed by a carved hunting horn, a stag with glass eyes and crossed rifles forming the crest, a clutch of game birds at the bottom, the edges decorated with carved, pierced oak leaves and acorns.
h. 48", w. 30-1/2", d. 20-1/2"

Provenance: The Claiborne-Humphreys Mansion, Esplanade Avenue, New Orleans, Louisiana.
Condition
The case retains what appears to be an old surface with rubbing to the finish throughout from past cleaning, and some imbedded grime at the low spots. Pendulum is present; key and weights are not. There are normal small chips and flakes to the edges of carved surfaces, and some larger losses, notably: the tips of seven of the antlers; a break where a crossbar joins a gun stock; two chips to the bell of the horn, one about 1" by 1/2", the other about 2" by 3/4"; a loss to the tip of a lower bird's wing, about 2" by 1/2", and a loss to the face carving of an oak leaf, about 1" by 5/8".
