Tall Clock

Benjamin Willard American
 Simon Willard American

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 774

This clock is a characteristic example of the Willard brothers’ collaborative work from about 1771–75 and is well documented. Its inscriptions reveal the name of the original owner, its date and place of origin, that it was Benjamin Willard’s 131st clock, and that its movement was the ninth made by Simon Willard.

Tall Clock, Benjamin Willard (1743–1803), Mahogany, cherry, white pine, American
