This book is a major contribution to the study of English goldsmiths' work and of horology, and is likely to become a standard work. It is the first major study of the virtuoso chasers who decorated London gold boxes and watchcases in the eighteenth century, and it includes a biographical dictionary of the chasers. No dealer or collector of gold objects and prints, or auctioneer, can afford to be without it. Not only is it fundamental to the study of watch-cases, but also of importance for the study of gold boxes and other metalwork, for the study of gold boxes and other metalwork, for the study of craft organization, and the role of immigrant craftsmen in eighteenth-century London, and for the development of rococo design as a whole.
