Description

This grim reaper hourglass sets a hooded, robed figure in each of its two clear bulbs, so whichever way up it stands, one reaper sits waiting as the black sand runs down over him. The upper figure hangs head down from the top cap while the lower one sits cross-legged on the base, and turning the hourglass swaps their places. Both caps are resin with an antiqued silver finish, their rims worked in a braided Celtic knot border. The top carries a raised knotwork cross with two smaller knot roundels and a pair of creature heads between its arms. It stands 20cm tall and 9cm across, a size that sits on a shelf without crowding it.

We like it on a bookcase, a writing desk or a mantelpiece, anywhere it can be picked up and turned now and then. The silver caps and black figures suit a gothic or dark-toned room, and the piece looks just as much at home among candles, old books and curios as it does on a plain modern shelf. On a study desk or a hallway console it becomes a quiet talking point, the slow fall of the sand drawing the eye towards the cloaked figure seated at the bottom.

The antiqued finish leaves darker shading in the recesses, so the knotwork and braided rims stand out clearly. Keep it on a flat, steady surface, because the clear bulbs are the delicate part. Dust the caps with a soft dry cloth. A lightly damp cloth will lift fingerprints from the bulbs if you dry them straight after. Turn it gently rather than flipping it fast so the sand settles evenly. It makes a characterful gift for anyone whose shelves could do with a little dark humour.
