The joinery is fairly complex and the inlay is particularly elaborate. William Munroe likely made this and the half-dozen known related cases for his brothers Daniel and Nathaniel. Daniel Munroe working alone and in partnership with his brothers made some dozens of timepieces like this one between about 1800 and 1815. This is the most intact of the surviving examples. The construction is refined and precise, even where it doesn?ÇÖt show, and the front surface is intensely decorated with considerable variety. The polychrome inlay that outlines the doors is as complicated as any produced in the Boston area. This was a luxurious and expensive item when new, and the form was never produced in large numbers."},{"label":"Subjects (AAT)","value":["Banjo clocks","Wall clocks"]},{"label":"Subjects","value":["Banjo clocks"]},{"label":"Bibliography","value":"Article: David F.

Surmounting the diamond-shaped drumhead is a ball-and-spire finial on a plinth. The eglomise glass clock face is decorated in the spandrels with gesso and gilt in scrolled design, with the upper one depicting a Federal shield. The clock face is removable from its hinged frame and dovetailed box. Inside is a pane of clear glass with a black-painted dial mat, which has a scratch-beaded inner edge, and brass works. The clock face denotes time via Roman numerals and minute and hour hands. The throat, dial door, and pendulum box are bordered in an arrow-and-diamond inlay design.  At the top of the throat is reeded mahogany paneling. The throat features an eglomise tablet depicting five graduated gilt and black trophies of oak leaves and acorns suspended from a bow against a white background and within an inner black border and an outer gilt and powder blue border. The throat is braced by brass arms.  The dovetailed pendulum box has a hinged door enclosing an eglomise tablet with an eight-sided window to view the pendulum through cross-hatched gilt painted on the glass. The octagon is bordered in powder blue, gilt, and black. Inscribed in gilt against the black, at the top is: [DANIEL] and below: [MUNROE]. The pendulum window is flanked by gilt sunbursts, within a matching border as on the throat. Four brass bracket feet are screwed to the secondary base panel and are probably designed for the clock to be placed on a shelf.  The finial has been replaced. Now ball-and-spire, as recently as 1998, the finial was an acorn."},{"label":"Date Digitized","value":"7/20/2018"},{"label":"Marks, Signatures, and Inscriptions","value":"Inscribed on lower panel: [DANIEL / MUNROE]."},{"label":"Materials","value":"Mahogany; Pine; Paint; Glass; Brass; Enamel; Gilding"},{"label":"Style","value":["Federal"]},{"label":"Basis of Date","value":"Date range of 1810-1830 provided by Israel Sack, Inc. (1976). From 1808-1818, Munroe was actively working in Boston. If the clock was made before 1808, it was likely made in Concord, but if the clock was made after 1818, it was likely made in Baltimore. According to David F. Wood, in Boston Furniture: 1700-1900, pages 217-8, brother of Daniel and Nathaniel, William Monroe (who was partnered with his brothers until 1804), may have made the case while Daniel was responsible for the inner mechanics. Wood also makes a point that certain characteristics of design would indicate a creation date earlier than 1805."},{"label":"Date (EDTF)","value":"D:00 M:00 Y:1800 - D:00 M:00 Y:1830"},{"label":"Basis of Origin","value":"Daniel and Nathaniel Munroe were active in Concord, but after dissolving their partnership, Daniel relocated to Boston.
