Laughing Turk

7390 - 10" x 22" x 4"

Before the cuckoo came into vogue many other animated figures were used on Black Forest clocks. Bell ringing monks, laughing faces, and the dumpling eater were charming examples.

This clock is an authentic replica of a Black Forest clock of the early Nineteenth Century. The Hand-painted shield clock features a face whose eyes move with the movement of the pendulum. "The Turk" also laughs, or gasps counting each hour on the hour and once on the half-hour.

The Laughing Turk is hand painted by the award-winning Conny Haas of Rombach und Haas.

The Kapuziner is by Rombach und Haas.
