Armillary sphere - Brass

Grand and scenographic armillary sphere fully made of brass, characterized by an impressive ring structure and a solid turned pedestal. Particularly fascinating are the numerous engravings in French, with references to European towns, zodiac signs, and astronomical indications. On the large ring there is the inscription “A PARIS Chez G. Gobille … Royalle”, drawn from the tradition of ancient French scientific instruments. The piece stands out for its substantial size and a weight of no less than 3.282 kg, which give it notable presence and decorative quality. The surface preserves a pleasant natural brass patina, with traces of oxidation and signs of time that emphasize its vintage character.
