18th C. Atlas Armillary
An intriguing mix of early science and Greek mythology: one of the legendary Titans battling Zeus was defeated and decreed to carry the weight of the world on his mighty shoulders. Forever. Our armillary dial, however, has Atlas carrying the entire universe. ThatÕs to say the known Renaissance universe, when the earth was still believed to be at its center. Gracefully intertwined silver rings symbolize the position and trajectories of heavenly bodies around the earth. In all aspects ethereal, science combined with beauty, myth with historic fact. 25.5 x 56cm, 10 x 22" Base ¯ 22.5cm, 8.75"... Click for Large Image and More Info...

18th C. Desk Globe, Baroque Iron
The skills of the blacksmiths from the Baroque era are legendary. They applied their art to churches, to the stairways and railings of mansions, to trade signs and a myriad of other ornamental and practical creations. We love the graceful curls and curves so popular in the Baroque decorative tradition. Contrasted and offset by the austere metal rings used to cradle our historical globe, they create a focal point in a well thought out and planned home d?cor. 22 x 55cm, 8.75 x 21.75" Globe ¯ 18cm, 7"...
