Chamber Organ 1779

Thomas Chapman's "Chamber Organ" is a remarkable example of 18th-century craftsmanship. Created in 1779, the organ stands tall and imposing, showcasing intricate carvings in the wooden casing. The instrument's pipes, arranged in a symmetrical pattern, hint at the rich sounds this organ was capable of producing. Now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece offers a glimpse into the history of musical instruments and the artistic traditions of its time.
