Magnificent Carved Emilian Wehrle Flute Clock with 8- Pipes


We recently added this magnificent Emilian Wehrle musical clock to our collection. The clock is heavily carved measuring in at over 44" in height. The clock has a large 8-day movement with solid brass plates. On the hour the large double doors open to revel a 4.5" tall flute playing figure while "The Hunters Waltz" is played on 8-pipes. The condition of this clock is fantastic. It retails its original finish and is practically free of any breaks or repairs to the carving. This identicle clock was documented in Rick Ortenburger's 1991 book, Black Forest Clocks. The clock can be seen in a full page spread on pg 202.




















Below is a short video of the clock is action
