"Although the first mentions of hourglass date back to the Xth century, this measuring tool appeared certainly several centuries ago. Later, from the Italian Renaissance and especially XVIIth and XVIIIth centuries, it became one of indispensable instruments for any good scientist or curious. It will even symbolize in Arts time that passes, and become one of Death and Time representation." 

Several similar items found in past auctions, some dated from XIXth and most often from XVIIth century: *SVV PRUNIERS in Louviers on 13/11/2016 No. 135, "rare bone and ebony 5 rounded columns framing the glass hourglass; between the two pears appears a hemp and silk threads knot.The 2 trays with rosettes marquettery design, France or Germany, XVIIth century 23.5cm high" *PIASA Hotel Drouot Room 16 on 06/03/2014 No. 211, "4 balusters columns bone turned hourglass with carved bases of spiral godrons around a radiant disc, moulded edge, transparent glass bulbs with white sand inside, joined by textile and golden threads knote, Italy late XVIIIth - early XIXth century. 18,6cm height and 11cm diameter *ACADEMIA FINE ARTS, Salon Beaumarchais-Bosio, Hotel de Paris, Place du Casino in Monaco on 29/07/2012 No. 161, "rare ivory carved and turned 4 ring columns hourglass.
