- The "Gold Repousse Pair Case by Moser - 1744" is a breathtaking example of mid-18th century English craftsmanship, showcasing the intricate artistry and technical precision of the era. This exquisite verge watch, encased in a pair of meticulously crafted gold repousse cases by Moser, features a full plate fire gilt movement complemented by a silver dust cover that is both signed and numbered. The movement is adorned with a pierced and engraved masked cock, highlighted by a large diamond endstone set in polished steel, a silver regulator disc, and a fusee and chain mechanism, all supported by turned pillars. The watch's plain three-arm steel balance and blue steel spiral hairspring ensure accurate timekeeping. Its white enamel dial is elegantly designed with delicate Arabic numerals encircling a fine tracery border and is equipped with gold beetle and poker hands. The inner gold case is richly decorated with foliate engravings, a grotesque mark, and a small scenic depiction around the pendant, featuring a bird perched in reeds within a symmetrical border and the maker's mark “EB” with a fleur-de-lis. The outer case, made of 22-carat gold, is a masterpiece of chased and engraved repousse work, signed “Moser f” at the feet of the central figure. This case is adorned with a symmetrical border that frames a captivating scene of a musician playing a lyre, surrounded by various animals including a stag, boar, wolf, and lamb, encapsulating the elegance and detailed artistry of the period.
- This is a stunning mid 18th Century English verge watch in a pair of very fine gold repousse cases by Moser. The movement is full plate fire gilt with a silver dust cover that is signed and numbered. The pierced and engraved masked cock has a large diamond endstone in a polished steel setting, a silver regulator disc, fusee and chain, and turned pillars. The plain three arm steel balance and blue steel spiral hairspring bring it all together. The white enamel dial features delicate Arabic numerals around a fine tracery border and gold beetle and poker hands. The gold inner case is also decorated with foliate engraving around the edge, a grotesque mark at the base, and a small scene around the pendant. A bird perched in reeds is surrounded by a symmetrical border, and the maker's mark “EB” with fleur dis lis above. The outer case is a beautifully worked 22 carat gold case of chased and engraved repousse work signed “Moser f” at the feet of the figure. The symmetrical repousse border surrounds the main scene which depicts a musician playing a lyre surrounded by animals, including a stag, boar, wolf, lamb, lion, and leopard. Outside the border, there is a frieze of small landscapes and buildings.
- This is an important and fine watch, an early example of Moser's work made in the same year as a case made for a repeating watch by Graham, which Richard Edgcumbe lists as No. 4. The scene appears to be a visualisation of a passage from Isaiah chapter 11, which is thought to be the origin of the phrase “The lion and lamb shall lay down together”.
- George Michael Moser was born in Schaffhausen on January 17, 1706. He moved to London in 1726 and worked for John Valentine Haidt, goldsmith and watch chaser. By 1737 he was working on his own account at Craven Buildings off Drury Lane, producing chased and gilded works as well as creating fine enamel cases. He designed the great seal of George III and painted enamel portraits of the royal children for Queen Charlotte. Moser continued to work at least until the late 1770s and was active for the Royal Academy until the end of his life. On January 30, 1783, the “Gentleman's Magazine” reported that Moser “was followed to his grave in grand funeral pomp by all the capital artists, Sir Joshua Reynolds at their head as chief mourner, Sir William Chambers, etc. Ten mourning coaches, besides two gentlemen's coaches, were in the procession”.
