Original Cast Iron Armillary Sphere on Fluted Column Pedestal
$5,500.00
A garden armillary sphere, cast in iron with an aged bronze-tone patina, set atop a fluted classical column pedestal in cast stone. The sphere features intersecting meridian and equatorial bands in a traditional celestial design, centered on an arrow-tipped gnomon and topped with a decorative finial — a design rooted in the English garden tradition of using armillary spheres as sundials and sculptural focal points.
The banded sphere sits on a scrolled socle above a fluted Doric-style column, terminating in a stepped square plinth base. The contrast between the warm, weathered patina of the cast iron sphere and the pale stone tone of the pedestal gives the piece a refined, timeless presence suited to formal gardens, courtyards, and estate landscaping.
A classic piece of English garden ornament, well suited as a focal point along a path, at the center of a parterre, or flanking an entrance.
