Eight-Day Tall Case Clock with Musical Movement 1790-95 Movement by Daniel Burnap This tall clock by Daniel Burnap possesses a musical that plays one of six tunes every three hours after the hour is struck on a large chime bell. The brass clock dial is expertly engraved with rococo style script, scrolls, and raffles. The case maintains period features such as neoclassical pilasters, a pagoda pediment with a pierced fret, and gold-painted flame finials indicative of popular eighteenth century tastes in the Connecticut River Valley. Daniel Burnap operated as a clockmaker, watch repairer, instrument maker, silversmith, and brass founder near Bissells Tavern in East Windsor, Connecticut. The musical brass movement bears Burnaps signature traits, most notably the count-wheel strike system and dead-beat escapement. These features may be linked to Burnaps time working under English-trained, master clockmaker Thomas Harland (1735-1807) who migrated from London in 1773 and introduced English
