Desk-top Pocket Watch Stand, Late 19th Century
Desk-top pocket watch holder, late 19th century
An elegant desk-top pocket watch holder, richly decorated with heraldic and medieval motifs.
The design features a large central laurel wreath intended to hold the pocket watch, surmounted by ornamental elements and flanked by plant motifs.
At the base are depictions of a helmet, a shield bearing a rampant lion, halberds, and other chivalric-inspired weapons, which give the piece a strong neo-medieval character.
The lower tray, with its double compartment, provides a place to rest the watch chain or small desk items.
A piece of great decorative impact, it reflects the historicist taste prevalent from the late 19th century to the early 20th century, when the watch stand was an indispensable accessory in studies and bourgeois settings.
Engravings on the back, not clearly legible.
