Quality Clocks: Cuckoo Clocks

Angry Hausfrau Cuckoo Clock Angry Hausfrau Cuckoo Clock. Whimsical and sometimes realistic animations such as this one were commonly reproduced mechanically in the Black Forest since the early Nineteenth Century. Here, a woman beats her stitching husband over the head with a rolling pin. One strike for each hour. The tailor moves his sewing with the motion of the pendulum. This fine piece also includes detailed carved and animated dancers, as well as a night shut-off lever. The clock also includes hand-laid shingles and wooden hands, numerals, and cuckoo bird.
