    A large late 18th-century terracotta clock stand with a patina, depicting the guardian of time, Chronos, showing the time above a young shepherdess dozing with roses on her and in a basket.
    One can, of course, see in this the message that time is fleeting and that we must cherish it, for it never stops.
    This watch holder has a superb patina resulting from numerous repaintings, which gives it a folk art feel.
    There are some minor imperfections, but nothing serious or deal-breaking. 
    The rooster clock is not included in the price; it is available for purchase separately for €80.
    Shipping is available in a reinforced package to prevent breakage, via Chronopost or Colissimo, for:
