Late Victorian, unmarked, and complete.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA silver-plate pocket watch stand with an integral trinket tray, late Victorian or Edwardian, made for a gentleman's dresser or bedside table. A pocket watch was set into the velvet-lined cradle to stand upright like a small clock through the night, with the shallow tray beneath holding studs, coins and a chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cradle swivels between two pivots topped with ball terminals and a small urn finial, so the watch can be tilted to face the bed. It rises on a turned baluster stem from a dished tray. The piece is electroplate over copper, unmarked, with the metal worn through to a warm copper tone at the raised edges and a weighted base that keeps it steady.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt stands 11.5cm tall, the tray 9.5cm across, with a 5cm cradle sized for a full-plate pocket watch. Condition is honest: even tarnish throughout, the plate worn at the high points, and the velvet lining soft with use. The cradle still swivels freely and the base sits flat and steady.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStands like this were made to be used, and most were worn through or broken up long ago; a complete example, tray and cradle intact and still turning, is not commonly found.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Estate Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54903894442323,"sku":"CI-0036","price":265.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1080\/3121\/3907\/files\/swivel-pocket-watch-stand-and-trinket-tray-c-1890-1910-1.jpg?v=1788991092","url":"https:\/\/estatecollection.nl\/products\/swivel-pocket-watch-stand-and-trinket-tray-c-1890-1910","provider":"The Estate Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
