Dwarf tall clock

Attributed to Samuel Mulliken II American

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 729

Clocks such as these, essentially shelf clocks atop a lower case, are quite rare and are sometimes called dwarf tall clocks. The brass dial is unsigned, but it is very much like a rare signed example by Samuel Mulliken II of Newburyport, Massachusetts that is illustrated in Brooks Palmer’s "A Treasury of American Clocks" (New York, 1977).
