THIS FABULOUS (LARGE) WHITE WROUGHT IRON "ARMILLARY SPHERE GLOBE" ON A STYLISH WOODEN BASE MEASURES A VERY DECENT 860mm HIGH x 490mm WIDE. THE SPHERE WOULD MAKE A STUNNING GARDEN FEATURE OR EVEN PLACED ON A PEDESTAL IN AN ATRIUM OR PATIO. THE SPHERE HAS NICE WEIGHT TO IT AND WOULD REALLY BE A STUNNING FEATURE PIECE NO MATTER WHERE IT WAS PUT. AN ARMILLARY SPHERE (VARIATIONS ARE KNOWN AS SPHERICAL ASTROLABE, ARMILLA, OR ARMIL) IS A MODEL OF OBJECTS IN THE SKY (IN THE CELESTIAL SPHERE), CONSISTING OF A SPHERICAL FRAMEWORK OF RINGS, CENTRED ON EARTH OR THE SUN, THAT REPRESENT LINES OF CELESTIAL LONGITUDE AND LATITUDE AND OTHER ASTRONOMICALLY IMPORTANT FEATURES SUCH AS THE ECLIPTIC. AS SUCH, IT DIFFERS FROM A CELESTIAL GLOBE, WHICH IS A SMOOTH SPHERE WHOSE PRINCIPAL PURPOSE IS TO MAP THE CONSTELLATIONS. IT WAS INVENTED SEPARATELY IN ANCIENT GREECE AND ANCIENT CHINA, WITH LATER USE IN THE ISLAMIC WORLD AND MEDIEVAL EUROPE. PLEASE VIEW THE PICS CAREFULLY TO FULLY APPRECIATE THIS FABULOUS LARGE ARMILLARY SPHERE AND TO CONFIRM THE CONDITION.
