Vintage 1771 George III Tarts of London Silver Repousse Pair Cased Pocket Watch in working order with Mahogany storage clock case and keys. A stunning timepiece with lovely enamel dial displaying a town river scene, it is made by Tarts of London and is stamped with the serial number 12100 The silver casings have faint hallmarks and the date mark looks to be 1771 which sits well with its serial number The watch case has a lovely patina to it with a couple of very minor dents, the repousse case is stunning with a romantic scene portrayed on its rear. The watch comes with 2 keys and winds and works perfectly, the winding key is a little loose but does the job. The enamel is a little bit damaged at the bottom of the dial from opening to get to the movement, could easily be repaired by building up enamel paint or left as is.
Watch measures approx 4cm in diameter by 3cm deep, outer case measures approx 5cm in diameter The Wooden Clock case measures approx 20cm high by 9.5cm wide by 4.5cm deep and has been made at a later date but is still extremely old.
