About the Item

Add style to your garden with this reclaimed neoclassical style armillary sundial. It features a steel late 20th century garden armillary sphere above an early 20th century limestone pedestal.

It is a beautiful addition to a country garden where it might be situated among flowerbeds or at the centre of a large courtyard. We are selling another similar under Stock No. 32752.
