Item Details

Description

A FINE EARLY 20TH CENTURY EUROPEAN SILVER SAND TIMER HOUR GLASS of elegant proportions, delicately modelled with a repousse top and bottom, encasing the glass timer, the columns of octagonal form. 349 grams overall. 17 cm x 10 cm. Note: An hourglass (or sandglass, sand timer, or sand clock) is a device used to measure the passage of time. It comprises two glass bulbs connected vertically by a narrow neck that allows a regulated flow of a substance (historically sand) from the upper bulb to the lower one by gravity. Typically, the upper and lower bulbs are symmetric so that the hourglass will measure the same duration regardless of orientation. The specific duration of time a given hourglass measures is determined by factors including the quantity and coarseness of the particulate matter, the bulb size, and the neck width. Depictions of an hourglass as a symbol of the passage of time are found in art, especially on tombstones or other monuments, from antiquity to the present day. The form of a winged hourglass has been used as a literal depiction of the Latin phrase tempus fugit ("time flies").
