ltwilliammowett:Pocket watch in a silver case, by James Richards, London 1793 This beautiful piece shows a Sailor’s Farewell scene. In it, a Sailor says goodbye to his beloved while his ship is already waiting for him. The silver case was made later and seems to replace the original one. Possibly the owner had to sell it to get money again, which often happened. And later bought this replacement case, which is from a mass production, because this interior scene of a gentleman with his servant is not of great quality. -- source link
