Double court hourglass, silver filigree mounting with six ba - Lot 48
Double court hourglass, silver filigree mounting with six balustered posts. In a red morocco case gilded with fleur-de-lys. Circa 1630. (Minor accidents). Height : 12 cm - Width : 9 cm Depth: 4.5 cm Provenance: Jubinal de Saint Albin sale, 1877, n° 17 Once attributed to Venice, this type of hourglass appears to be more French, as evidenced by the discharge mark on a model close to the Delalande collection. Comparative bibliography: An hourglass with the same mounting, but with a single vial, is reproduced in: Delalande, Sabliers d'autrefois, Paris, 2015, no. 12, pages 192 ff.
