The neoclassical grisaille on a brown ground enamel decoration was particularly popular in late 18th century London. Robert Allam Robert Allam was apprenticed to Thomas Smith, master and citizen clockmaker in London for 7 years, and was free between 1742-1765. Augustin Toussaint Louis Toussaint was a London based jeweller and enameller. His son Augustin was apprenticedin 1768 to the renowned enameller and gold chaser George Michael Moser as enamel painter (for the enormous fee of 200 guineas). Augustin Toussaint's works were exhibited at the Royal Academy (1775 to 1788) and are recorded on watches signed Emery for example. George Michael Moser (1706-1783) George Michael Moser was born in Schaffhausen on January 17, 1706. He studied chasing and gilding under his father Michael, a coppersmith. 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. In addition to chasing he also produced fine enamel cases of which only about twenty are known to survive. He designed the great seal of George III and painted enamel portraits of the royal children for Queen Charlotte. In the 1740's Moser became a leading figure at the St Martins Lane Academyand later, in 1769 he became the first Keeper of the Royal Academy. His repoussé watch case work is among the finest to be found. Moser continued to work at least until the late 1770's, 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". In The Art of the Gold Chaser in Eighteenth-Century London, Richard Edgcumbe devotes over 40 pages of text to Moser's work in addition to the many illustrations included. Cond.: Case: very good, slightly chipped. Dial: very good. Movm.: very good, capable of running, cleaning recommended.
