This antique tall case clock is among the most important examples of an antique New Jersey Hepplewhite musical clock known. The high style case bears the original intact label of New Jersey cabinet maker Matthew Egerton Jr. Even more importantly the movement includes an extremely rare four tune music train. The wonderfully painted dial features a song selector in the arch with a pointer and song titles. The lavishly inlaid case has a distinctive pierced tympanum, contrasting veneers, quarter fans and Corinthian capitals on the reeded columns.
