Longcase clock 1766

This impressive longcase clock, also known as a grandfather clock, was crafted by the Italian artist Mario Gambelli in 1766. The clock, made of wood and adorned with gold leaf, stands tall and slender, showcasing intricate details and a delicate balance of form and function. The clock's striking silhouette, featuring a bell at the top and a Roman numeral clock face, makes it a timeless piece of decorative art. Currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, the clock embodies the craftsmanship of 18th-century clockmaking.
