In order to store the watches securely and stylishly, artfully designed stands that matched the wearer's interior were developed and were an impressive reflection of the history of European art and culture from the Baroque to the early 20th-century. The stands ranged from miniature versions of grandfather and mantle clocks to one-off works of art made from wood, ceramic or metal. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUntil now, research on pocket-watch stands has attracted little attention. This publication provides a first representative overview of more than 800 objects from a unique private collection in southern Germany, documenting its wealth of designs, which encompass a large repertoire of Christian, mythological and political themes. Scholarly texts on the history of the objects, their designs, and restoration issues make this an indispensable standard work in this field. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eText in English, German and French.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bernd Bauer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3897906805\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783897906808\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arnoldsche Verlagsanstalt GmbH\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/21\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 1112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Bernd Bauer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47520650952959,"sku":"9783897906808","price":210.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bc0264ea-135c-402c-8a2b-c9b59475e39f.jpg?v=1762886343","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/taschenuhrstzonder-pocket-watch-stands-bernd-bauer-9783897906808","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
