A well preserved, exquisite artifact to view the celestial skies! This specific model is very unique as it has a movable yet fully integrated meridian, which allows for the constellations and zodiacs to be viewed throughout. Attractive colors of a deep blue horizon and bold light blue character out lines contrast golden yellow stars. The rich marbleized brown Bakelite base reflects superb Art Deco details. North, South, East and West are embossed into the Horizon ring. The pasteboard orb is mounted into a beautiful copper finished meridian with raised numeric. Diameter of the orb itself is 9 inches, 12 inches including the horizon ring. Total height is also 12 inches. Perfect dimensions to be displayed on a shelf or desk. Celestial spheres are not as common as terrestrial models and had not produced in the same volume. Their beauty and rarity has made them desirable collectables. $498 — Item : 412RMCEL30 - SOLD
