Another Great Auction
A collection of vintage brass desk accessories comprising a sand timer, a perpetual calendar, a lotus-form candle holder, and a small cylindrical accessory. The sand timer features a three-pillar brass frame with circular plates, the top secured by spherical finials and the base engraved with a ring of Roman numerals from I to X. The clear glass vessel contains fine light-coloured sand. The perpetual desk calendar is of a stepped rectangular design with three apertures displaying day, date, and month rollers, currently showing Sunday 25 April. The lotus-style candle holder is constructed from multiple overlapping brass petals radiating from a central cylindrical cup. The final item is a small turned brass pillar with a flat circular top and a central cutout, likely functioning as a desk weight or seal.
