A RARE GERMAN CAST IRON NOVELTY ANIMATED DESK CLOCK, EARLY 20TH CENTURY
-
Description
An intriguing and rare novelty timepiece from the 19th century—an animated dog clock crafted from cast iron. The uniqueness of this timepiece lies in its animated features, all of which remain original.
Driven by a high-caliber German movement, this clock has an impressive eight-day running capability, a testament to the craftsmanship and engineering of that era. The clock's animation adds to its charm: as it runs, the dog is designed to wag its tail while its tongue moves inside and out, creating a lively and engaging display.
Such a timepiece not only keeps time but also serves as a delightful and entertaining piece of mechanical art, showcasing the creativity and ingenuity of clockmakers from the 19th century.
