This artistic candle holder in empire style carved from a single piece of wood with criss-crossing garlands and acanthus leaves is painted in vivid yellow, red and green. The base on three legs rises up like a pyramid and lends the candle holder a stable, yet elegant look. Carved frames and partially turned candle holders were an important area of production for the Gröden art industry in the 18th and 19th centuries.

It was customary to put pocket watches, considered valuable objects, on display in living rooms enclosed in ornately carved, partially gilded watch stands. Watch stands were a item commonly produced in Gröden from the mid-18th century until the 1870s, often featuring an allegorical depiction of time as an elderly man with a beard and wings. He usually held a sickle or scythe, later also a sand glass.
