A tour de force of American clock-making, this tall-case clock is of the highest calibre of 18th-century Newport craftsmanship.
.
In addition to timekeeping, it also measures the date, progress of the moon, seconds and – a feature particularly favoured in Newport – the tides.
.
The quality of its mahogany shell also suggests the output of one of Newport’s leading cabinetmakers at the time and may illustrate the work of one of the Townsend and Goddard shops.
