The sundial is the oldest timekeeping instrument still in regular use. Long before clockwork or batteries, people told the time by watching where the light fell. The method is exactly the same today. The shadow moves. The day turns.

This brass and wood sundial on pedestal works just as well on a desk, a garden table, or a library shelf. It has a warm wood base, an engraved brass face, and the pointed shadow-caster in the middle (called a gnomon) that hasn’t changed in three thousand years because it never needed to. It tells the time by the sun, the same way it always has.

Timekeeping at its most elemental, and most beautiful.
