Antique cast iron coffin handle circa 1900
With the motive of a winged hourglass.
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.
They are in very good condition with a superb patina.
Would be perfect as a handle on a piece of furniture!
Brand new from the period, it has never been used.
In the past, coffin handles could also be purchased at hardware stores; these are often unsold stock from the era that has been rediscovered, as is the case here.
