This simple yet refined piece was designed to hold a pocket watch at night, transforming it into a sort of small bedside or mantel clock. The circular and slightly flared base (diameter 9.5 cm) is embellished with a delicate floral decoration featuring small, stylized flowers in gold leaf and glitter, spaced at regular intervals. The slanted upper plate, equipped with a hook to hold the watch, features a further gold ring decoration in the center and retains the warm patina of time. Entirely hand-turned, this piece demonstrates the artisanal quality of small-scale English production in the early 19th century. Overall height: 12.5 cm Base diameter: 9.5 cm See less
