Shelf Clock 1817 - 1820

Seth Thomas was a prominent American clockmaker, and this "Shelf Clock" from 1817-1820 is a testament to his skill. Made of wood with a painted scene and Roman numerals, it stands 27 7/8 inches tall and is a prime example of early American furniture. Thomas's clocks are known for their craftsmanship and durability and this one is a valuable piece of American history housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
