A rare early 18^th Century English verge with visible mock pendulum champleve dial and concealed enamel portrait in an unusual silver consular case.  Unusual reversed deep full plate fire gilt movement, three Egyptian pillars, the back covered by a simple turned gilt plate.  Fusee and chain with worm and wheel barrel setup between the plates.  Deep gilt dial plate with oak leaf engraving to the edge.  Signed silver champleve dial, glazed  aperture below the chapter revealing the heart shaped gilt mock pendulum bob on the three arm balance above the engraved plate.  Offset chapter of Roman and Arabic numerals, small gilt regulator dial visible through an aperture at eight o’clock, fine blue steel beetle and poker hands.   Very unusual form of silver consular case.  Although it appears to be a conventional pair case the front bezel and plain back are hinged to the middle section.  The middle section constructed as an inner case complete with split bezel for the glass hinged with the movement.  Opening the back cover reveals a polychrome enamel portrait which has a winding aperture with protective silver collar.  Maker’s mark “II” below a crown.
