August Schwer 8-Day Handcrafted Music Black Forest Farmstead Cow Dancing Figurines

A clock that’s sure to evoke highly nostalgic memories of idyllic Black Forest farmhouses amidst salubrious surroundings, making it the ideal gift or souvenir for anyone who will relish a lasting memento of the fairy-tale Alpine woodlands.

Every exquisite feature of this clock is designed to replicate the forest farmstead–right down to its depiction of a friendly Alpine cow complete with her festive bell and collar. The chalet’s characteristically large roof shields a cozy farmhouse dwelling with miniature versions of hand-carved decorative paneling, pretty windows, and flower boxes that beautifully highlight its vintage two-toned clock dial.

The entire base of the clock is dedicated to recreating an authentic chalet garden and surroundings with cleverly sculpted evergreens in varying sizes that fringe the front and sides of the lodge, and colorful sprinklings of woodland shrubs that lie in abundance on the make-believe forest floor. The front of the chalet boasts the familiar farmhouse mill wheel along with a water trough, a neatly stacked pile of chopped logs, and log fencing. A leaning ladder, rough wooden garden seat, and pails furnish its two sides, making the whole scene a minute representation of a typical village farmstead. And the traditionally dressed villagers who rotate to the strains of the music box every time the clock strikes the hour are the element that adds the finishing touches to this amazing timepiece. You can be assured of superlative standards of design, craftsmanship, and quality when you purchase this fine Black Forest creation.
