Antique chromed metal coffin handle
With the motive of a winged hourglass
Early 20th century - Some traces of oxidation
Indeed the hourglass evokes the inexorable passage of time, each grain of sand representing a day of our life.
The hourglass is presented with the wings of a dove or an angel, both messengers of God, as if the instrument for measuring time became, with death, the soul that the dove or angel will carry to heaven.
By its reversible side, the hourglass evokes the ability of a new life or true life when it is turned over to restart a cycle.
New at the time, it has never been installed.
Would be perfect as a handle on a piece of furniture!
Handles are corroded, especially on the rear side
In the past, coffin handles could also be bought in hardware stores, and it's often old, unsold stock from the time that is found, as is the case here. New at the time, they were never fitted.
