Decorative Hourglass in Metal and Glass, 21 cm

The Decorative Hourglass in Metal and Glass, 21 cm, pairs clear glass with a metal frame in a classic silhouette with a clean, vertical read. At 10 cm wide, 10 cm deep and 21 cm high, it sits comfortably on side tables, consoles, shelves and desks, adding contrast to straight lines, a quiet sheen and three-dimensional presence without taking up much surface space.

The cylindrical frame reinforces the piece’s presence even in pared-back arrangements. The central glass keeps the contents visible and introduces subtle movement to the composition as the hourglass is positioned on its own or alongside stacked books, boxes and trays.

The metal frame shows a brushed-look finish, while the glass body keeps the piece visually light. The elongated proportion helps introduce height to a vignette, especially on low surfaces or grouped with horizontal objects.

This hourglass can act as a visual anchor on trays, consoles, side tables, niches and office countertops. In settings with wood, glass, stone or other metals, it works as a subtle point of contrast without relying on strong color to stand out.

Used alone, it reads as a crisp vertical accent. In a grouping, it pairs well with stacked books, decorative boxes, small lamps and objects of differing heights. The clear, defined form adapts easily to both more classic schemes and rooms with contemporary lines.

For daily care, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. On the glass, use a lightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid abrasive products on the metal to preserve the finish.
