Description
This is a decorative armillary that reworks a classic astronomical instrument into a piece for the modern home. Concentric rings in gold-toned brass and black metal orbit a marble-effect resin orb, all set on a stepped stone base. The globe carries rich brown and bronze patterning under a gloss finish, so each one has its own individual character. It measures 22cm wide, 17.7cm deep and 27cm high, and weighs just over 1.1kg, giving it enough presence to hold a spot without dominating the surface around it.
We like this globe as a focal point on a console table, coffee table or bookshelf, where the rotating rings catch the light and draw the eye. It suits studies, living rooms and hallways, and works well alongside books, framed prints and a small stack of hardbacks. The brown and gold palette sits comfortably with warm neutrals, dark timber and leather, while the brass detailing lifts more classic or club-style interiors. Group it with candlesticks or a small sculpture for a considered vignette, or let it stand alone for a cleaner look.
The frame is built from aluminium with a brushed metal finish on the outer rings, paired with a gloss orb that shows off the swirled marble effect. The stepped base is stone, giving the piece a steady, weighted footing. Because the orb is made from resin with hand-finished patterning, no two are identical, and slight variations in the swirls are part of the appeal. Made in India. To care for it, dust the rings and orb with a soft, dry cloth, and wipe any marks with a barely damp cloth before drying straight away. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaners, and keep the base away from standing water.
