Authentic Models Large Armillary Sphere 16-Inch Diameter Floor Globe

What We Like About the Large Armillary Sphere

The Authentic Models Large Armillary Sphere 16-Inch Diameter Floor Globe is reminiscent of those that were once positioned in classical gardens and on either side of impressive entryways. This is an architectural focal point that will add profound interest to any setting. The wooden blue sphere at the center represents Earth at the center of the universe, as was once believed to be the celestial arrangement. The hand-crafted wrought iron sphere is supported on an elegant, scrolled stand and adds lasting beauty to your home or office.
