Eight-Day Tall Case Clock with Musical Movement 1790 - 1795

This eight-day tall case clock, crafted by American clockmaker Daniel Burnap between 1790 and 1795, is a fine example of American furniture making from the late 18th century. The mahogany case, with its elegant brass accents, features a musical movement that would have provided a pleasant auditory experience to its owner. The clock is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City and stands as a testament to the skill and artistry of early American clockmakers.
