Sweet Old Handmade Wooden Watch Holder primitives with some loss of paint

with some loss of paint and assorted scuff marks

with bright orange body

which is not just a great object

though as noted the curve of the sides is quite irregular—original to the piece

just contribute to its presence and richness as an object with a long history

Sweet Old Handmade Wooden Watch Holder primitives with some loss of paintI find this old watch stand incredibly sweet, super simply made then so carefully and lovingly punch decorated to frame the watch it once would have held. The soft wood is nicely aged, and it remains quite a useful stand for holding and displaying all sorts of little small things. 4 3 8" tall x 3 15 16 wide x 2" deep not including hook. Wear to the surface of the wood, which I think just enhances it, and perfectly sturdy.
