Heavy silver hunter cased verge with hunting decoration

A verge movement, with stop work, in a heavy full hunter silver case decorated with hunting scenes.

MOVEMENT : A fine quality verge escapement fusee movement, with clean blued screws and diamond endstone to the balance cock..

Signed Jno. Sinkinson, DONCASTER and numbered 1141.

The steel lever under the dial at 4 allows the movement to be stopped and restarted.

All in good original condition, and running well.

DIAL : White enamel.

In good condition with just a few light surface marks but the enamel has been restored.
Gilt hands.

CASE : A large and heavy silver full hunter case with hallmarks for London, 1812, maker TG and case serial number 15748. Both back and front covers are decorated with raised silver hunting scenes.
The front cover can be opened when the button on the stem is pressed

Good condition though with three small dings (one on the band and one on each cover) and some wear to the raised silver decoration. This wear has resulted in a few small holes to the back cover though these don’t show through to the inside (the back and front covers are double skinned).
The hinges are ok and both bezel and cover snap shut correctly.

John Sinkinson is listed in Doncaster (Yorks) in 1817.
