dial signed "Samuel Ranlett, Monmouth", early 19th century, inlaid cherry and birch waisted case with quarter columns and fretwork pediment, arched gilt painted dial with moon phase, seconds sweep and date aperture, eight day brass works, 91-3/4 in.

Condition

case door likely restored, fretwork possibly restored (later stain at back), dial paint generally good with crackle, scattered light abrasions, some minor flaking and discoloring to moon phase, period saddleboard (probably a good match to case but later shims applied to case uprights), some shrinkage cracks to base, patch at cornice molding
