"The virtuosity of the chasing of London watchcases and gold boxes in the eighteenth century has been widely admired, but little studied. This book is the first substantial account of the chasers; their international origins, their training and techniques, the engraved sources of their designs, and their relationships with the patrons and watchmakers who commissioned their work. With the aid of enlarged photographs, this book analyses the work of an international body of artists who not only decorated royal presentation boxes and the cases of some of the leading watchmakers, including George Graham, The Ellicotts, and Thomas Mudge, but had a wider impact on the artistic world of London."- Dust jacket Includes and bibliographical references and index.
