(7 customer reviews)

Original price was: $297.72.Current price is: $200.86.

Armillary spheres have become an icon of science with their elegant rings and beautiful silhouettes. Eratosthenes may have invented armillary spheres around 255 BC. These instruments are made up of a set of graduated rings representing circles on the celestial sphere, such as the meridian, equator, ecliptic horizon, tropics, and colures. With the aid of an armillary sphere, one can track the path of the sun for any given day of the year or determine a stars coordinates. The Earth is represented by the brass sphere located at the center of the armillary sphere. This is a replica of a European Demonstrational Armillary Sphere. It was used to measure the relationships of the objects in the sky. It features a rich antique finish that does not tarnish or show fingerprints. Its a great addition to any nautical collection.

    Using this for a coffee table centerpiece wanted something different. This was perfect high quality excellent piece.

  2. Anonymous (verified owner)

    Well made, color is just what I wanted. It is not shiny. And it looks great on my mantle!

  3. Frederick Mullison (verified owner)

    I do like this Armillary Sphere, it closely seems to replicate the kind I saw on the History Channel on the life of Nostradamus. The construction is acceptable, if a little unrefined in the brass solder joints. It would be nice to see included a basic info sheet on how this device was used, or maybe leaving it all mysterious is better. It completes a little still-life arrangement w/a 6″ crystal ball and a palmistry manikin on a side table in my living room; looks good!

  4. Sharon (verified owner)

    Though I liked this product I was very disappointed to find the exact same thing at homedecorators.com under Home decor>sculptures for 53.00. which is 1/2 of what I paid.

  5. Sherrie (verified owner)

    I needed something “eye catching” and classic to fill in on my mantle. This really fits the bill! Its more interesting and not as solid as a world globe. It looks beautiful below an oversized clock and next to antique books.

  6. Donna (verified owner)

    I had been wanting one of these for a while. When I saw this one, it was too nice to pass up. I have it on my mantle opposite my gemstone globe. They really compliment each other.

  7. Debbie (verified owner)

    Very nice conversational piece, we have this displayed on our bookcase. Nice size.
