Vintage 35-Minute Sand Timer Mahogany Finished Wooden | 8 In Decorative Hourglass | Timepiece Home Office Décor | Antique Style Sandglass
$64.43
⏳ Step into a moment of calm with this elegant 35-minute sand timer—an artful blend of form and function that invites mindful pauses into your day.
Crafted circa 1980s by skilled artisans, its turned mahogany-finished wooden stand cradles two hand-blown glass bulbs filled with fine white quartz sand.
The rich, glossy wood warms any shelf, desk, or mantel, while the slender waist of the glass invites the sand to fall in a steady, mesmerizing trickle.
📜 Hourglasses—or sand clocks—have been guiding us through time since at least the early Middle Ages (8th century), though their exact origins remain cloaked in mystery. Sailors used them on deck to measure watch shifts, monks timed sermons, and later they became symbols of life’s fleeting beauty. By the Victorian era and well into the 20th century, decorative sand timers like this one became a staple of elegant libraries and offices, marrying craftsmanship and practicality.
📐 Measuring approximately 8 inches (20.3 cm) tall with a base approximately 4¼ inches (10.8 cm) in diameter, this piece runs for a precise 35 minutes and 40 seconds. Flip it twice and you’ve marked a full 71 minutes of reflection, productivity, or simply watching the world slow down.
✔️ It’s in very good vintage condition: the glass has no cracks, and the wood shows only gentle surface wear—light scratches on the top and base that whisper of years of service rather than mar its beauty. The finish still gleams, and the sand flows smoothly every time. Please check the photos.
Whether you’re timing a leisurely tea steep, structuring a focused work session, or simply decorating with an object that carries centuries of history, this 35-minute sand timer brings warmth, elegance, and a touch of nostalgia to any space.
