Greenwich Armillary Sphere Based on originals from the 18th century colonial Williamsburg and found in formal English gardens, the Greenwich Armillary Sphere combines a distinctive presence with beautiful craftsmanship and the dramatic contrast of brass and verdigris aluminum to produce a impressive garden accent. Anchored by a polished copper band, the solid brass arrow shaft with its cast bronze arrow head and feathers tells time by casting shadow on its antiqued brass Equator ring. The inner surface of the ring shows the hours of the day while the exterior surface has an intricate Florentine design. The Armillary base is inscribed with the signs of the zodiac around a bronze sunburst medallion. The base supports two angels who in turn support the Meridian ring. As with the Equator ring, the Meridian ring is highly decorated and hand finished. A truly impressive piece from our history.
