Antique Victorian Era Black Forest Carved 25" Wall or Parlor Clock, Hunt Theme
Beautiful, large 19th century Victorian era Black Forest 25 3/8" wall or parlor clock with a magnificent "Fruits of the Hunt" motif including hound or hunting dog at the top, game bird & fish at the sides, hunting satchel & bugle or horn at the base, vines with oak leaves & acorns, carved face or dial with convex enamel on copper Roman numeral plaques and entirely hand carved in what appears to be old growth European walnut! Exceptional both in size and quality, what a beautiful, impressively sized & a masterfully carved piece! Measuring 25 3/8" tall and 18 3/8" wide, this one is on the LARGER end and with no loss of detail or decorative appeal! In heavy, solid walnut we think, the aged patina is also as attractive as can be and it has black or ebonized accents on the raised scrolls and around the clock bezel! The 9.5" clock face (10.5" diameter with bezel) is set into the 5" deep case (up to 6" deep at the top), beautiful scrolls with reticulated vines with acorns. The
