Above the bottom edge is a pierced panel, hanging at an angle to hold keys etc. above this is a gilt seated lady playing a lyre. In the main upper section of the stand is a gilt circular frame and above this a hook from which to hang the watch and there are two additional hooks on either side for chains etc. The whole piece is covered with cream silk and the stand measures 130mm x 100mm
