Named for the European cultural movement that brought about great artistic and intellectual achievements, “The Renaissance” from Heirloom Hourglass is inspired by this time period and what it represents. Thus, Heirloom Hourglass strives to promote the evolution of the hourglass beyond a timepiece of great historical significance to a time capsule through our modern artistic interpretation of the hourglass as a vessel for storing and displaying sands and soils that are symbolic of a confluence of places, events, individuals, their families, and the important moments of their lives. “The Renaissance” is handcrafted for you from solid marble bases and American black walnut rope shaped pillars. Quarried in Spain, the marble used is called Crema Marfil, and it displays beautiful shades of cream and beige with subtle white and gray veining. This premium natural material pairs wonderfully with the black walnut, which is finished to a warm, luminescent glow. Open and close “The Renaissance” with the solid pewter ship wheels found on each side of the hourglass. The ship wheel design simultaneously pays homage to the rich nautical history of the hourglass as a timepiece while making the filling of it for use as a time capsule and keepsake possible. Fill your hourglass with sands and soils from a time and place that hold a special meaning to you, and pass it down through the generations as a cherished family heirloom. A collection kit is included.
