Description

A fabulous antique French pocket watch stand, from the Bordeaux "Le Bouscat" racecourse., the original blue enamel sign indicating this.

Below this label is the little hook ready to hang your pocket watch, I only had this small one at hand for photography (not included). At the base the naturalistic tree trunk would have acted as a match holder, with the textured sides used to strike the non-safety matches.

The star of the show is of course the horse and jockey in action jumping a fence.

Dating to c.1900 it remains in excellent condition with a good natural antique patina. 5" x 3" x 6 1/2".

FAQs

Equestrian themed items gained immense popularity during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, driven by the rise of organised sports, horse racing culture, and the Arts and Crafts movements appreciation for sculpted metalwork.

These pieces were typically crafted using the lost-wax casting method or sand casting in brass or bronze alloys, often featuring hand-chased details and applied enamels for signage or decorative elements.

Authentic pieces exhibit natural patination, wear consistent with age, crisp hand-finished detailing in the metal casting, and construction methods characteristic of the period such as threaded screws or pinned joints.

This piece can be styled as a focal point on a home office desk, a mantelpiece, or a bookshelf, pairing well with leather accents, dark wood furniture, and classic library aesthetics.

Preserve the historical patina by dusting gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid chemical polishes or abrasive cleaners, which can strip the aged surface and diminish the value of the piece.
