Highlights
This is a handcrafted brass hourglass finished in a black antique tone, filled with white sand that flows smoothly for approximately 2 minutes. Designed in a classic open-frame style, it combines function with vintage decor appeal.
An hourglass is a traditional time-measuring instrument that works without batteries or electricity. Time is measured as sand flows from the top glass bulb to the bottom.
Design & Finish
• Made from solid brass frame
• Black antique finish for an aged, vintage look
• Clear glass bulbs
• White sand for high contrast and easy visibility
• Open-frame structure inspired by antique nautical instruments
The dark metal frame and white sand create a strong visual contrast, making it both decorative and easy to read.
Sand Flow & Function
• Sand flow time: Approx. 2 minutes
• Smooth and steady sand movement
• Fully reversible - simply turn it over to restart
• No batteries, no sound, no maintenance
Each piece is hand-assembled, so slight variation in flow time is normal.
Size & Weight
Height:
• 10 cm (3.94 inches)
Weight:
• 110 grams (0.24 lbs)
Compact, stable, and suitable for desk or shelf display.
