Tall clock 1789

This tall clock, crafted in 1789 by renowned American clockmaker John Townsend (1732-1809), stands as a prime example of 18th-century American craftsmanship. The mahogany case exhibits intricate carving and elegant proportions, while the clock's face, adorned with Roman numerals and delicate hands, reflects the classical aesthetic of the period.
