Description

The large Pendulum Sand Timer is a decorative sand timer with an unusually tall, slender profile. White sand and clear glass sit within an open frame of three uprights, giving the piece presence without a heavy silhouette. Its antique brass effect lends the form the character of an old measuring instrument, intended chiefly to be admired as an object.

Why You'll Love It
  • A tall silhouette gives variety to a display of books and lower objects.
  • White sand stands out softly against the warm metallic frame.
  • Concentric circles on the top plate make it attractive when viewed from above.
Materials & Finish

Made from glass and aluminium, the timer pairs a clear cylindrical surround with an antique brass effect case. The brushed appearance of the upper collar and darker shading around the glass collars give the finish depth, while ring details and rounded tips articulate the slender posts.

Dimensions
  • Width: 9.5 cm
  • Depth: 9.5 cm
  • Height: 28 cm

Care & Use
  • Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth.

Styling Note

Place it beside a low stack of books on a console or generous coffee table, leaving space around the uprights to show their outline. Dark timber and brown leather complement the warm finish, as the lifestyle photograph suggests.

Why We Love It

The extended clear column beneath the hourglass gives a familiar object an unexpected sense of proportion.
