From a single piece of wood...
An artisan sculptural wood carving of a key-wind pocket watch on a chain.
Likely Mid-19th Century, modeled to life scale on a fusee key-wind European pocket watch model.
Incredible detail, right down to the roman numeral dial and opening for the key-wind mechanism.
15" long, with a circle of links in the chain atop the watch and the winding key on the end.
This is a truly beautiful piece of work! the tones and texture of the wood, the details throughout, and it is like nothing else on our home. Truly stands out.
In keeping with Aesop's fable, Fox and Crow's Motto is "Beware of False Flattery!" So, with each listing we offer a true confession about the item...we were honored to be invited to view a very fine Washington, D.C. collector's estate this season, and we were fortunate to bring home several genuine treasures. And this was just too interesting to pass up! Highly detailed, intricate, and amazing to consider it began as a single piece of wood.
