Description from the seller
Set of two hourglasses with a carved glass base – Marine-inspired
Description:
Delicate set of two artistic design hourglasses, both mounted on richly carved, transparent, and faceted crystal bases with a concave and irregular shape. The bases evoke a beach landscape with forms reminiscent of seashells, waves, and natural textures, creating an organic and elegant visual effect. The crystal captures light beautifully, emphasizing the decorative character of the pieces.
Main clock: Height 230 mm, diameter 150 mm. Contains black sand, with a duration of 30 minutes.
Small clock: Height 150 mm, diameter 90 mm. Contains golden sand, with a duration of 10 minutes.
Both clocks feature blown glass bulbs, finely proportioned and perfectly integrated with their sculptural bases. The combination of materials, shapes, and colors achieves a balance between functionality and ornamentation, with a clear inspiration from the aesthetics of marine nature.
Condition status
Excellent. No cracks or losses. Correct operation of the sand flow. Engraving details intact and crystal in optimal condition.
Remarks:
Decorative pieces with a strong visual presence, ideal for collectors, interior design, or thematic display cases. The harmony between sands of different colors and the sea-inspired design give the set a unique artistic value.
