Reproduced by kind permission of Pieces of Time - E-Mail: [email protected]

A late 18th Century Irish verge in silver pair cases. Full plate fire gilt movement with turned pillars. Pierced and engraved cock depicting a bird at the foot of the table, pierced and engraved foot and plate for the silver regulator disc. Fusee and chain with worm and wheel barrel setup between the plates. Plain three arm steel balance, blue steel spiral hairspring. White enamel dial with Roman and Arabic numerals, blue steel beetle and poker hands. Matching silver pair cases, silver pendant and bow, maker's mark "TP" in a rectangle. Hallmarked Dublin 1784, signed Ambse Moor Dublin. Ambrose Moore, Dublin, 1780-95. The marks on the cases are interesting. Those on the outer are unremarkable. The inner however bears a Chester mark and on close inspection it can bee seen that the first set of marks have been overstruck with Dublin marks (matching those on the outer) all but obliterating them.
