This impressive antique Chippendale musical tall clock is among the foremost examples ever produced in Lancaster County. The clock case, which exhibits dramatic scale and proportions, houses a rare five tune musical movement played on thirteen bells. The clock was produced by John Eberman Junior [1749-1835] and is accompanied by a provenance indicating that it was either the clockmakers personal clock or one given to his daughter. The hood has an elaborate scrolled pediment with foliate rosettes, turned wood finials and a Chinese Chippendale style molding. The dial, which has corner spandrels decorated with the four seasons, is elaborately signed with the clock makers name "John Eberman / Lancaster". The case retains a dry historic surface overall.
