This print showcases a remarkable piece of craftsmanship from the 19th century - a Watch-Shaped Vinaigrette created by Joseph Willmore in Birmingham, England in 1831/32. The vinaigrette, made of silver and silver gilt, is an exquisite example of decorative arts that flourished during this period. The intricate design features delicate gilding with gold accents, giving it a resplendent golden hue. Its watch-like shape adds to its charm and uniqueness. This object served a dual purpose as both a perfume box and a fashionable accessory for the elite. Joseph Willmore's expertise in metalwork is evident through his meticulous attention to detail and precision. His creation exemplifies the rich heritage art that emerged from Britain during this era.

It serves as a testament to the skillful craftsmanship prevalent during the 19th century on the continent. As we admire this stunning work of art, we are transported back in time to an age where creativity and mastery were celebrated hand-in-hand.
