Vintage Nut Bird Desk Timer
Timekeeping, the playful way. These little nut birds first cropped up mid-century, carved from tagua nut — also called vegetable ivory — with details in Bakelite. Part toy, part desk companion, they were as much about charm as they were function.
This one comes perched beside a sand timer, waiting patiently while the minutes slip by. Half sculpture, half novelty, it carries that slightly eccentric mid-century spirit that never takes itself too seriously.
