Measuring almost seven feet tall, this towering armillary sundial would make a wonderful garden ornament. Hand-carved in Italy, the tall base, which is adorned with large acanthus leaves, sits on top of two four inch thick base stones that provide a roughly square footprint. The limestone structure is topped by an iron armillary with a rich chocolate colored finish that is adorned with whorled feet and a horizon line with loose volute terminals.

View AllCarved Italian Marble Sundial with Iron Gnomon
Located in Dallas, TX
Hand-carved in Italy, this beautiful marble sundial has a turned iron gnomon that mirrors a thin twisted rope molding along the outer edges.

As the earth rotates on its axis, the gnomon casts a shadow onto the marble which is incised with Roman Numerals on a stylized scroll. Directly under the tip of the angled gnomon is “XII”, indicating noon. The numbers to the left of XII run counterclockwise, starting with “VI”. On the opposite side, the numerals continue in a counterclockwise manner, terminating in a second “VI” (which would be PM if the sundial...
