Brass Armillary Sphere – Decorative Celestial Globe Astronomy Vintage Style

Add a timeless touch to your home or office decor with this brass armillary sphere, a beautifully crafted representation of ancient astronomical instruments.

It rests securely on a circular base, making it an ideal centerpiece for desks, bookshelves, or study rooms.
