Antique Pocket Watch Stand
$85.00
Antique Pocket Watch Stand in Gold with Red Velvet Pad. Cherub and Claw Feet. Beautiful and ornate Victorian Style.
History:
During the 19th Century people used pocket watch stands or holders, often referred to as watch hutches, to put their pocket watches on overnight to protect them from loss or damage. Watch hutches also converted any pocket watch into table or mantel clocks in a room that usually didn’t have a clock. They also made perfect bedside clocks, before the advent of alarm clocks.
The French called them Porte Montre, meaning “Watch Stand.” Parisian artisans fashioned ornate watch holders for wealthy travelers visiting Paris on the Grand Tour. Pocket watches were a necessity during this era and fine shops along the Palais Royal specialized in selling unusual and whimsical accessories to house family pieces at the end of the day.
As the new century dawned, artisans created beautiful renditions in the styles of Art Nouveau, and by the mid-1920s, Art Deco.
