| The armillary in the centre is 50cm
(20") diameter and is of solid brass that has been given an antique finish. The
hours and the zodiac figures are then gilded with 24 carat gold leaf to provide a striking
contrast. This dial can be adjusted for latitude. The armillaries shown at the right and the left are made in solid bronze and
are available in three sizes:
38cm (15") diameter [ref 38AS]
45cm (18") diameter [ref 45AS]
60cm (24") diameter [ref
60AS]
The images show this dial in the distressed and polished
states. The rings at the tropics are not normally included. |
