The Watchkeeper | Vintage Brass & Glass Sand Timer Hourglass
A quiet symbol of passing tides and sea watches. Standing 7.25 inches tall, this vintage brass sand timer pairs classic maritime utility with a grounded, contemplative aesthetic.
Encased within three turned baluster spindles, the hand-blown bulb holds fine white sand that trickles seamlessly between chambers. The solid brass frame displays a deep, mellow patina with subtle surface oxidation that speaks to its vintage age. A timeless sculptural piece for a study desk, library shelf, or as a focal point within a curated nautical display.
