The armillary sphere shows the Earth (a central ball) surrounded by rings (armilla in Latin) which represent the great circles of the heavens. It was widely used during the 17th and 18th centuries in scientific debates over the relative merits of the competing central Earth and central Sun theories.

Our simplified, decorative brass version makes a handsome ornament for the desk or garden.

Stands approximately 12" high, made from solid machined brass with an antique finish and polished wooden base.

Good Quality Product

The Armillary Sphere looks good and feels good, a very solid piece of kit that goes well in my study. My one slight criticism would be that they could have included an information sheet, giving a short history and background as to how these devices were originally used. Would definitely recommend

Product is generally very nice. Just one "but". There are names of places and coordinates latitude and longitude in degrees and minutes next to them. Unfortunately, they do not match them. It is a pity as if not this your product would be perfect.
