AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Table Support for Pocket Watch (Image 1)
The first object is a decorative holder for a pocket watch (pocket watch stand or porte-montre), made of cast metal (probably brass or patinated bronze) in a Neo-Gothic / Historicist style. Function: At night, or while working at the desk, the pocket watch was hung on the integrated upper hook. The watch face would fit into the standardized central circular opening, temporarily turning the pocket watch into a small desk clock. Artistic Details: The structure features Gothic architectural elements, including spires, openwork ogival arches and side pinnacles. Just below the central circle, there is carved a grotesque face or gargoyle, from whose mouth the lower support of the base seems to emerge.
2. Art Nouveau Double Table Salt Cellar (Image 2)
The second object is a decorative double table salt cellar (sometimes adapted as a jewelry holder or toiletry tray) of purely Art Nouveau style. Materials: The organic structure is molded in gold‑toned brass or bronze, serving as a support for two shallow oval shells made of authentic mother of pearl, which display a characteristic iridescent reflection. Organic Style: True to the flowing, natural lines of the Art Nouveau movement, the structure mimics tendrils and entwined vines. The set is adorned with detailed leaves and buds of flowers or fruit hanging, painted in a soft old-rose tone.
