Hourglass - Glass, Metal, sand - 1990-2000 - Bruno Venturelli

Exclusive designer hourglass created by Milanese artist and designer Bruno Venturelli in April 2000. The piece stands out for its minimalist and elegant design: a pure self-supporting glass ampoule enclosed between two glossy metal caps. On the bases the circular inscription "Give time to time" is finely incised. A highly precious element is the content of the ampoule: fine natural sand from the Awbari desert in Libya, characterized by a warm golden hue. An item of exceptional collectible value thanks to its complete original accompanying set, perfect for collectors of mid-century modern and art objects. In good condition with normal signs of wear and small scratches; for all details please refer to the photos. It will be professionally packed and shipped with a tracking number.
