Tall Clock 1805 - 1815

"Tall Clock" is a tall-case clock by Joakim Hill, crafted between 1805 and 1815. This American-made clock, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a fine example of early 19th-century craftsmanship. The clock features a simple, elegant design with a traditional Roman numeral clock face, a wooden case, and decorative inlays. The clock is a testament to Hill's skill and a reminder of the importance of timekeeping in the early 19th century.
