Description

The small Pendulum Sand Timer frames a white-sand hourglass within a tall glass cylinder and slender antique brass-finished uprights. Its elongated proportions give a familiar object an unexpected silhouette, with clear glass balancing the warmth of the metalwork. Intended primarily for decoration, it makes an intriguing focal point on a desk or shelf.

Why You'll Love It
  • The small format fits naturally among books and collected objects.
  • White sand provides a crisp contrast to the warm brass-coloured frame.
  • Engraved rings on the top plate reward a closer look.
  • Rounded finials and spherical feet soften the straight uprights.
Materials & Finish

Glass and aluminium form the timer, with an antique brass finish giving the case its warm, softly lustrous appearance. Three rods connect the circular plates around the cylindrical glass enclosure, keeping the hourglass visible through the open frame.

Care & Use

Styling Note

Place it beside upright books on a shelf, leaving space above to appreciate the engraved top. Dark timber and smoky glass make particularly effective partners for its warm metalwork and white sand.

Why We Love It

The long stretch of clear glass beneath the hourglass is the defining detail: it gives this small ornament an unusually poised profile.
