An interesting and collectible October offering is found in this decorative pocket watch,
to be sold as lot 530. The watch face is simple and classic, finished with black Roman numeral
hour markers and rose tone spade hands. The decorative artistry is quite apparent in the
case, framed by numerous half pearls. It features a polychrome enamel portrait of a finely dressed
maiden, whose cheerful outfit is topped by a multicolored, feathered bonnet. A cobalt
blue sunburst background completes the watch case image of the lady, to be offered at an
auction estimate of $2,500-3,500.
