This wonderful tall clock is the only known example of a tall case clock by this prolific Quaker clock maker, renown for making dwarf clocks. The cas, which, is in wonderful original condition with a pleasing old surface and delicate regional fret, is attributed to Weymouth cabinetmaker Abiel White. The iron dial is a terrific Boston example with a beautifully detailed lakeside cottage scene in the lunette and signed below the center arbor "Reuben Tower / HINGHAM. The clock has a vibrantly figured mahogany case resting upon delicate bracket feet.
