Handmade by artisans in Northern Italy, the Pewter Hourglass is the result of many years of experience in reproducing and refining elegant European designs. The careful craftsmanship and attention to every detail are sure to give pleasure to the owner. The pewter finish displays a warm patina and slight distressing that is reminiscent of antique pieces that collectors treasure. From the kitchen to the library, the uses are many--whenever there is time to be measured. The large round hourglass is beautifully crafted and serves as an impressive decorative accessory. The phrase which is engraved on the top reads "fasti perpetui" and features a perpetual calendar. (7.5" H.) |
