20th Century Oak framed sand timer with turned pillars:
$97.38

Probably made during the second half of the 20th century, this unusual design sand timer measures just over 7¼ inches in height (186mm) and 4¾ inches square (120mm).
The single piece glass vial is housed in an oak stand with four turned spiral pillars and the sand flows quite freely, although oddly it takes approximately 32 minutes from one side and 38 minutes from the other.
Aside from a small chip on one of the wooden bases (see photos), the hourglass is otherwise in very good cosmetic condition and is not only functional, but also a great display piece with an attractive floralmotif on both bases. A nice decorative piece weighing just under 550 grams.
Please study the photos as they are part of the description, and I will behappy to answer any questions if I can.
