This stunningly accurate, well-calibrated hourglass allows the passage of time to be recorded in the time-honored ‘Olde Way’ of our ancestral past. Its beautiful Cherry finish, thickly lacquered and grained, offers a brilliant color combination with the blonder sand behind. 12 inches high, it is of a scale not too obtrusive, yet still substantial enough to appreciate not only for its practical applications but also for its superb craftsmanship. This 60 minute sand timer is instructive in its interesting historical aspect as a chronometer as well as being useful for games and for such things as the timing of family functions.
For desktop or for living room beauty and style, this very elegant relic is a superb example of historical place and time and a valuable keepsake to pass along to future generations. Its playfulness competes with its overall effect as a near object of art. This is something very lovely.

Bring the 19th Century to life with this indoor-outdoor double-sided clock. It’s absolutely rustic, antiqued appearance gives an incredible authenticity to what is in reality a modern appliance, durable, waterproof and exceptionally reliable. It can be mounted on a wall, as is, or hung from those gorgeous wrought iron braces shown in this display. Those brackets and the swinging nature of its swiveling posture gives the entire piece a sort of timeless, small-town look.
With “Victoria” lettered across the face of the clock, we sense the period at the bare beginnings of modern technology and the mind is given some free rein to explore history and a great sense of place. Being two-sided makes it the complete model of 19th Century pride and efficiency. The clock is a good sized 12″ x 12.5″ x 3″ wide, offering a substantial although non-intrusive element of charm and periodicity.
