Dated Hourglass

A documentary 18th c. turned and carved hourglass with pinwheel decoration on one end, and the date “Anno 1760” on the other.
Probably Dutch; 10 1/2” h.
In fine condition with no repairs or replacements. In later black paint over the original salmon.
NB. 1760 is the year when the single or unitary “bulb” began to replace the earlier two-part bulb that had been conjoined by a combination of fiber and sealant.

SOLD.
