I found this recently in an antiques store in Prague, Czech Republic. It is an old Wire Works Pocket Watch Holder. It most likely dates to the early 1900's. It measures 13 1/2" tall, 6" wide, and 2" deep. It is made to be hung on the wall. The shape makes it resemble a house with its roof. The patina on this is lighter than most old Wire Work pieces that I have seen. It may have been cleaned. I did find it from a very reputable antiques person in Prague though, so I do believe that it is about 100 years old.
