Decorated on the front with a profusion of flowers and foliage on an iron-red ground reserved with a grass- edged cartouche painted in brown monochrome with Cupid scantily-draped, seated on clouds with a small globe between his feet, holding a baton in his right hand, and a label inscribed VH in his left hand, the upper section painted with a central blue shell within elaborate rocaillerie surmounted by a molded scrollwork finial, and pierced below with a circular aperture fitted with an interior support for a pocket watch accessible from the larger opening on the reverse above blue foliate sprigs and dots, the sides with blue floral sprays and a chain border on the flaring apron between the four scroll feet. The stand is now accompanied by a nearly contemporary French pocket watch in a silver case (Ferney-Voltaire, French Jura, circa 1795, marked with initials HM in a lozenge, numbered 70458) (Engels)
