AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Decorative bronze armillary sundial with an Atlas figure.

This special sculptural object combines classical mythology with astronomical instruments. The figure depicts a powerful Atlas-like character carrying an armillarium (astronomical sundial).

The armillarium consists of multiple rings of bronze, brass and copper with engravings and Roman numerals. The different metals and the natural patina give the object a rich and classical appearance.

Armillaria were historically used to visualize the movement of celestial bodies and the position of the sun. Today they are loved as decorative objects with a scientific and classical look.

The piece makes an impressive decorative element for interiors, a conservatory, or a garden.

Condition: very good condition with natural patina appropriate to the material.

The natural stone column is not included.

The item is packed very carefully and professionally:
• multiple layers of bubble wrap
• foam protection
• sturdy double box
• corner protectors
• insured shipping with track & trace

Pickup is of course also possible.
