Dwarf tall clock 1777 - 1780

This Dwarf Tall Clock, crafted by Samuel Mulliken II between 1777 and 1780, is a fine example of American furniture making in the late 18th century. The clock is made of mahogany wood and features a simple, elegant design. It stands tall and slender with a single door, topped with a small clock face framed by a delicate wooden hood. The clock's design is functional and visually appealing, showcasing Mulliken’s skill as a clockmaker and cabinetmaker. Currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, this clock is a testament to the craftsmanship of the period and a historical relic of the early American clockmaking tradition.
