The Lantern  from Heirloom Hourglass, makes a classic and unique addition to any mantel, camp, or home it graces. Inspired by the timeless elegance and warm glow of a lantern, this hourglass is designed to capture the essence of this comforting aesthetic a lantern creates. Housed between the two finely finished black walnut bases are glossy, white maple rope shaped pillars and hand blown glass. Together, they take one back to a simpler time and create an image of a wrought iron lantern with the yellow glow of soft candlelight coming from within. Fill your Heirloom Hourglass from either side using the 24 carat gold plated solid pewter ship wheel closures and the collection kit included. Capture a moment, preserve the memories, and create an heirloom by filling The Lantern with sands or soils from your travels, your home, or from a special event in your lifetime. Many options for customizing and personalizing your hourglass are also available. This unique sand ceremony hourglass is the perfect addition to a wedding unity sand ceremony, family unity ceremony, or vow renewal ceremony. It is the perfect alternative to the unity candle for an outdoor wedding sand ceremony, destination beach wedding sand ceremony, or an inside wedding where a candle cannot be lit.  It also makes the perfect heartfelt gift for any occasion.
