5.11 - Francuski stojak na kieszonkowy

The item for sale is an exceptionally decorative, miniature display case that serves as a stand for a pocket watch. These kinds of items were extremely popular in France and were used by ladies to safely set aside their watch for the night or to display it on a vanity as a small mantel clock.
Details and execution:
Material: Construction made of brass or gilded bronze, with a preserved noble patina.
Glazing: Original, very thick beveled glass (edges ground), which visually enlarges the contents and gives the whole piece depth.
Interior: The inside is lined with original, pleated satin in a honey-gold color, which protects valuable items from scratches.
Decorations: A very rare and striking floral motif – the base decorated with precisely crafted flowers (daisies/asters).
Accessories: At the top there is an eyelet that allows hanging the display case.
Behavior state:
The item is in very good antique condition. The glass is clean, with no significant chips, and the fabric inside has preserved its original charm.
