Mahogany tall case clock
Apr 11, 2024
This is a reproduction of a tall case clock built by John Townsend in 1789. The original is in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Robert used SketchUp to model the clock, using photos available from the Met and photos he took of the original clock while visiting the museum. His goal was to re-create the original clock case details as accurately as possible.
