Longcase clock 1802 - 1812

This early 19th-century longcase clock, crafted by American clockmaker Thomas Dickenson, stands tall and elegant. The mahogany case is adorned with brass accents and features a distinctive red inlay on the top. Its design reflects the popular Federal style, characterized by simple lines and symmetrical proportions. This piece, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, embodies the craftsmanship of American clockmaking during the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
