  • A HINT OF HALLOWEEN IN BLACK FOREST CLOCK

    black forest clockThere is more than a hint of halloween in this remarkable Black Forest mantle clock at Butchoff Antiques in London.  Dated circa 1880 it is carved from linden wood and represents a pair of horned owls on a rocky outcrop with a brickwork wall within a circlet of oak leaves.  There is a cat hiding below and the sculpture is fitted with an eight day clock.
