When we first set eyes on these large hourglasses, we knew we had found something special. They are made by a company in the North of England, who have for 35 years garnered old industrial artefacts belonging to our industrial past from all over Britain. They have a workshop where all re-useable parts of these artefacts are cleaned, waxed and polished, turning them into a wide variety of interesting and beautiful objects. Their aim is to maintain the characteristics of the artefacts, consistent with offering authentic, affordable and attractive gifts, which you would be proud to give and delighted to receive.
