The door to the bird is also missing.Most of the fret work on the outside looks good, two places have damage (see photographs) and the broken pieces are missing.One side panel is also missing.

Provenance: The property of a private collector, Hertfordshire. Johann Baptist Beha was born in Oberbrand, 1815 and was trained as a clockmaker by his father, Vinzenz, before setting-up on his own in Eisenbach in 1845. He specialised in cuckoo clocks and through his continuous development became the leading maker of fine and complex examples. His main export markets were to Russia (where he had a distribution warehouse in St. Petersburg) and the British Isles. He died in 1898 leaving the business to be continued by his sons Lorenz and Engelbert.Condition Report: Movement appears complete and fundamentally all-original and has been fairly recently (within the last five years or so) overhauled/restored to a high standard by a suitably skilled horologist hence is in full working order including the automaton and music mechanism in the base. The bellows for the bird call have been re-lined and the music mechanism in the base overhauled with no visible damage/losses to the teeth of the comb.The dial has numerous light hairline cracks to the enamel and some filled-in chips around the right-hand winding hole. The case is in good condition with significant faults limited to a well-executed repair to the left hand tip of the cornice mouldings, a patch repair to the rear panel, overall light bumps, scuffs, shrinkage and wear commensurate with age and use.Clock has pendulum and winding keys both for the clocks and music mechanisms.
