SOLD

This is a light gilt metal / white stand which sits on two strut feet. The front of the stand is in the form of a horse shoe which is highly. At the top is a hood from which the watch hangs from. Around the top of the stand is a detailed whip and crop. Above this is a jockey cap on a gilt pole. By pressing down on this cap quickly, it chimes the bell hidden behind the stand. The bell is the type used on a front desk or reception. The stand measures 80mm deep x 100mm wide x 110mm high. The stand is in 90% mint condition – the original gilding has worn away leaving the colour patchy in places
