Napoleon III Watch-holder In Bronze, Cloisonné Enamel, 19th Century Raised Field Decoration, Green Onyx.

Charming Napoleon III-period pocket watch holder, made of bronze with rich cloisonné enamel decoration and raised field work.
The frame features a very eventful and elegant silhouette, typical of the Orientalist and Japanese taste of the late 19th century. The polychrome enamels, dominated by deep-blue, turquoise, burgundy and green tones, compose a refined floral decoration of fine decorative quality.

The set base is set in a gold frame.

The base encases a beautiful Brazilian green onyx in nuanced natural shades, bringing depth and luminosity to the whole. The watch-holder rests on three small turned feet and retains its upper hook designed to receive a pocket watch.

The set is in the form of a watch-holder.

The set is in very good condition. There are only a few traces of use and oxidation on the reverse, consistent with the age of the piece and with no effect on its quality of presentation.
The combination of gilded bronze, cloisonné enamels and raised field work gives this object a particularly elegant and sought-after decorative presence.
