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.

This set of four Victorian clear crystal thorn vases, produced in Czechoslovakia circa 1890, demonstrates a highly expressive approach to late 19th-century decorative glass. Each vase is hand-blown, with a tall cylindrical body rising from an irregular, organically splayed base, and finished with applied clear glass thorns that spiral around the surface. The thorn decoration is individually applied and manipulated while the glass remained hot, resulting in a dynamic, twisting rhythm across each piece. Variations in form, thickness, and placement are evident throughout the set, underscoring the hand-crafted nature of their production and giving each vase a distinct presence. The clear crystal is of fine quality, offering strong clarity that captures and refracts light across the layered surfaces. The sculptural treatment of the exterior creates a lively interplay between transparency and texture. These vases relate stylistically to Victorian thorn glass...
