19th C. French Mother of Pearl & Brass Chair Pocket Watch Stand Holder

$632Sale Price|20% Off

19th C. French Mother of Pearl & Brass Chair Pocket Watch Stand Holder

Located in Honolulu, HI

A breathtaking 19th-century French "Porte-Montre" (pocket watch holder) whimsically designed in the form of a miniature chair. Crafted during the Napoleon III / Palais Royal era, this exquisite desk display piece features a natural mother-of-pearl shell seat, elegantly framed by delicate gilt brass wirework with flowing cabriole-style legs. Suspended from the top hook is a meticulously carved mother-of-pearl maple leaf that acts as a decorative backrest, complemented by a matching carved leaf dangling below the seat rail. The top hook was specifically designed to hold a pocket watch or pocket watch pendant, allowing the timepiece to rest gracefully above the iridescent shell bowl. Radiating soft pink and green iridescence, the natural shell harmonizes beautifully with the aged brass patina. Offered in exceptional antique condition with intact mother-of-pearl elements. A rare, highly desirable collector’s piece for enthusiasts of French Palais Royal vanity objects and antique pocket watch displays.
