Brass Armillary Sphere — Vintage Zodiac Globe on Wooden Base

This brass armillary sphere is a museum-style decorative replica of the historic celestial instrument used to illustrate the motions of stars and planets. Multiple concentric rings — including a zodiac band with engraved sign markings and a degree scale — rotate to suggest celestial mechanics; the warm brass finish and slightly aged patina add authentic vintage character. Solid brass construction with a turned wooden base gives the piece satisfying weight and presence while remaining compact enough for desks, bookshelves, mantelpieces and nautical displays. Use it as a study accent to signal scholarly taste, as a conversation piece in a library or office, or as a themed prop for photography and interior styling.
