Vintage Inspired Brass and Wood Hourglass

A timeless piece in every, this vintage-style hourglass combines brass and wood for a look that’s both classic and captivating. The half hour hourglass features white sand within a clear glass vessel, held securely by a rotating brass frame with decorative screws, all mounted on a warm wooden base.

Both functional and decorative, it’s perfect for adding a touch of old-world charm to a desk, study, or bookshelf.  Great for timing piano practice, used as a meditative timer or simply admired as an accent piece, it’s a reminder of the graceful passage of time.

A unique piece that bridges practicality and style — ideal for gifting, collecting, or curating a home full of character.

Thrifter note: this was purchased from an estate sale (rescued from the landfill!) We cleaned it up and it's ready for a new home.  We don't believe that it is an old piece, but it's charming none the less.
