Curio Cabinet Auction

Hourglass with a base in Italian white marble, twisted brass columns welded to the two bases, with glass. Duration: three minutes. The object, as can be seen from the images, has been entirely handmade, including the tin solder joints and the twisting of the three brass columns. The functioning hourglass has been partially cleaned and simply needs to be further polished with a cloth to restore the brass’s beauty to its original state. Perfectly functioning. The fabrication is presumed to be from the around the 1940s.

Clessidra con base in marmo bianco Italiano, colonnine in ottone torciato e saldato alle due basi , con vetro . Durata tre minuti. L'oggetto, come si può osservare dalle immagini è stato fabbricato interamente a mano comprese le saldature a stagno e la torciatura delle tre colonnine sempre in ottone . La clessidra  funzionante, è stata parzialmente pulita e deve solo essere ulteriormente lucidata con un panno per riportare la bellezza dell'ottone allo stato iniziale. Perfettamente funzionante . La fabbricazione , presumo sia degli anni '40 circa  del secolo scorso.
