SOLD $1,700.00 Sold: Mar 3, 2020 on eBayOriginal Listing Description
The Fox and the Grapes motif antique cuckoo clock. This is an amazing clock with very detailed carvings. I have never seen a carved fox that comes close to the one on this clock. The bird, grapes and leaves are truly spectacular. The lighter wood tone of the walnut is warm and draws onlookers to the clock. This is a rare cuckoo/quail clock. The Quail chirps on the quarter hour. It chirps once at a quarter past the hour, twice on the half hour, three times at the 9:00 position and 4 times on the hour. The cuckoo sings out the actual number of hours, depending on hour of day. Looks may be deceiv
