- Tall Case Clock, Made by John Goddard, 1770-1785 - This 18th-century, tall case clock was made by John Goddard, a renowned Newport, Rhode Island, cabinetmaker. Goddard used a cherry-stained mahogany case to house the English-made clockworks. Its shell motif, seen adorning the case's door front, was a favorite ornament in Goddard's furniture and points to its Newport origins. This piece probably graced a wealthy Rhode Island merchant's residence.
