Miniature Tall Clock 1785 - 1790

This "Miniature Tall Clock," crafted by Caleb Leach between 1785-1790, stands as a testament to American craftsmanship in the late 18th century. The clock's mahogany case, adorned with brass accents and a simple, elegant design, exemplifies the popular style of the era. The clock's diminutive size, 47 x 11 3/8 x 5 5/8 in., further distinguishes it as a unique and charming piece. It is a treasured example of American furniture and clockmaking from a pivotal time in the nation's history and is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
