By 1823 he had moved to Paris and was located at 18 Grenier St. Lazarre (which became number 15 in 1825). In 1836 Moser had moved to Boulevard du Temple 9 and subsequently entered into partnership with Samuel Marti in 1840. The partnership was registered at the address Orleans-Marais 13 until 1843 when Moser left and returned to Boulevard du Temple 9 before moving to number 24 in 1846 and then finally to number 15 in 1850. In 1860 the business was registered with 'et Cie' and records ceased after 1863.Extence also notes that Georges Moser utilised movements supplied by Holingue freres who also supplied Paul Garnier and were an important part of the history of Drocourt.Condition Report: Movement is clean condition with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements.

French or Flemish school of the 18th century."Still life with lute".Oil on canvas.Period frame and stretcher.Measurements: 80 x 64 cm; 108 x 90 cm (frame).The still lifes with musical instruments emerged as a genre in the 17th century in all Europe, although it was in the Flemish school where it took more importance. In this still life of the French or Flemish school, the influence of Flanders is evident, but also the affinity with a genuinely French aristocratic language. A theatrical curtain is drawn back to reveal a table on which a still life of sumptuous objects rests next to a lute and sheet music. The skilful use of transparencies and glazes is expressed in the gleam of the enamel and gilt bronze of the chalice, as well as the precious stones that adorn the small jewellery box. A silver urn embossed with festoons is decorated with obsidian inlay. The candlestick, carved with masks, recalls the symbolism of candles in Baroque still lifes associated with the transience of life and vanitas. In this painting, however, moralising symbolism is subsumed by sensualist pre-eminence. All the objects rest on a draped canvas, which subtly absorbs the play of chiaroscuro. Behind the parapet, a landscape opens up in a wide atmospheric perspective: a river meanders capriciously through the valley, surrounded by promontories with peaks bluish in the evening light.
