Description
This wooden cuckoo wall clock comes in a warm mahogany colour with a matt finish, and it is full of detail from top to bottom. A stag's head on a shield crowns the pitched roof, leaves and crossed bars frame the gables, and a small shuttered door sits just below the peak. Beneath it, three little figures stand on a roundabout in a pair of arches, a bird perches on one side, and a mother bird watches over a nest of chicks at the base. Three pine cone weights hang on chains under the case. It measures 44.5cm across and 25cm deep, a generous piece that wants a good stretch of wall to itself.
We think it suits a hallway, a sitting room or a dining room, anywhere the household passes often enough to enjoy the detail and hear the chime. The analogue dial carries Roman numerals in white against a dark centre, so the time reads clearly from across the room, and the quartz movement keeps steady time without any winding. It sits naturally in a traditional or country-style room, and it works just as well as the one ornate piece in a plainer, more modern space, where all that woodwork has room to show.
The clock runs on four D batteries, type MN1300, so there is no cable to hide, and it hangs from a hook: one secure fixing in a solid wall, with clear space beneath for the weights on their chains. The body is wood in a matt mahogany finish, and care is simple. Dust it with a soft dry cloth, use a soft brush to reach in among the leaves and figures, and keep it away from damp and direct heat. Hang it with the dial and the roundabout near eye level, where they are easiest to enjoy, and it makes a generous gift to wrap and give.
