About the Item

Papier mâché watch holder, circa 1840. The papier mâché watch holder with the original painted floral and bird decoration. This "Pocket Watch Holder" would have been prominently displayed on a gentleman's desk or night stand. At night gentleman usually hung their pocket watches on special stands. Because the face was raised and visible, this had the effect of converting the pocket watch into a clock. Watch holders were made of many materials, including wood, china, metal, and bone. The Staffordshire factories made a variety of holders in bright colors and shapes. A development of these was the larger stand which had a recess for a small clock with a watch like face. A pocket watch holder was indispensable to the wealthy and was placed close at hand. The watch holder also served a second purpose as early watches were most accurate when they were held in a vertical position. The pocket watch shown in the photo is not included.
