This exquisite Sligh Grandfather Clock, known as the John Goddard Newport model, beautifully captures the refined elegance of 18th-century American design. Handcrafted in Holland, Michigan, this heirloom-quality timepiece features a stately arched bonnet with carved scroll pediment, finial detail, and a warm solid cherry case. The painted dial with Roman numerals and moon-phase calendar pays homage to classic Newport craftsmanship, inspired by master cabinetmaker John Goddard’s renowned Rhode Island aesthetic.
