Antique Gilded Metal Pocket Watch Stand - Possible Monstrance Fragment Ornate Rococo Design
This antique gilded bronze stand features elaborate Rococo-style scrollwork, floral motifs, and a striking satyr figure seated at the base. A delicate putto (cherub) figure adds to its decorative charm, suggesting influences from both religious and classical art traditions.
The piece features a circular central opening, originally designed to hold a pocket watch, though its form and craftsmanship suggest it may have been repurposed from an ecclesiastical monstrance or reliquary frame. Mounted on a later polished black wooden base, it now serves as a stunning standalone decorative object with an interesting past.
Condition: Some wear and patina consistent with age.
Height: 34cm
Material: Gilded metal, wood base
A unique and historically intriguing collectors piece, perfect for antique enthusiasts or those with an appreciation for ornate ecclesiastical and decorative arts.
