Bentside spinet 1769

This "Bentside spinet" was crafted by John Harris in 1769, the year of his death. The spinet, a type of harpsichord, is made of mahogany and features intricate inlays. Its unique bentside design and the cabriole legs, characteristic of the Rococo period, make it a visually striking piece. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City houses this instrument, which is a testament to the craftsmanship of 18th-century American furniture making.
