A FINE BLACK FOREST CARVED LIMEWOOD SPRING-DRIVEN CUCKOO WALL CLOCKALEXANDER FLEIG, TRIBERG, LATE 19th CENTURYThe twin going barrel four pillar movement with skeletonised plates and anchor escapement regulated by a carved wood shaped-bob pendulum, the backplate with second overlaid pierced plate to take the rear pivots plus set-up ratchets for the spring barrels over stamped signature A. FLEIG to lower margin, with external countwheel for announcing the two-note call for every hour via a pair of crank-driven bellows fitted above the plates, whilst repeatedly revealing a polychrome automaton figure of a cuckoo from behind a pair of hinged doors positioned above the dial who opens his beak and flaps his wings as well as sounding on a coiled gong, the case of gabled form applied with finely executed oak-leaf carved crest centred with a stag's head with inlaid glass eyes hung with two crossed-over percussion lock hunting guns, over aperture for the cuckoo set amongst further oak leaves and circular bugle-type hunting horn centred with the rosette decorated concentric turned wooden dial, applied with ivorine Gothic Roman numerals and with scroll-pierced bone hands, flanked by impressive carved hung rabbit and pheasant game over further tied leafy branches incorporating a hunting pouch applied with a further small game bird to apron, the sides with small opening hatches and the rear with lift-out panel applied with a gong to the interior; together with a copy of Miller, Justin J. Rare and Unusual Black Forest Clocks Schiffer Limited, Atglen PA 2012, dj, (2).137cm (54ins) high, 77cm (30.5ins) wide, 48cm (19ins) deep. Provenance:From the private collection of a professional sportsman and commentator. Despite the high quality nature of his work, very little is known about Alexander Fleig of Triberg. Trade directories indicate that his workshop was established in 1869 and was still active in 1906. He exhibited at the Commercial Exhibition in Villingen in 1876, and it is generally believed that he probably collaborated with other makers. Condition Report: The movement is in clean working condition, both springs seem strong and will wind fully. The cuckoo automaton is complete with wire operating detents/levers all present however the action appears a little limited suggesting some adjustment is required in order to maximise the action. The bellows have been re-conditioned hence provide good strong notes to the call. The dial is in fine condition as is the case with the only notable observation being some very well executed restoration to the stag antlers. The rear has some scuffing around the original hanging hole (removable back panel has been re-polished) the present hanging eye is probably a later addition. The carving is generally in very fine condition with faults very much limited to a few very slight historic bumps to the extremities; there is no visible worm damage or noticeable splitting.Generally a fine example apparently having been relatively recently serviced/cosmetically restored and only really requiring slight adjustment to the automaton. A pendulum with conforming carved wood bob and a winding key are present with the clock. Condition Report Disclaimer
