About the Item
Presenting a captivating and sculptural patinated bronze sundial, a testament to the artistry of Swedish sculptor Sune Rooth (1903-1981). This exceptional piece transcends mere timekeeping, embodying a powerful narrative and a striking aesthetic.
At the heart of this sundial stands the figure of Atlas, the Titan condemned to hold the celestial spheres. Rendered in a robust and dynamic form, Atlas supports an openwork globe, its meridians and parallels meticulously delineated. The bronze, imbued with a rich, nuanced patina, speaks to the passage of time, lending an air of antiquity and gravitas. The open globe allows light to permeate, casting intricate shadows that dance across the space beneath.
This piece is accented by the warm tones of the copper metal, which are etched with numbers on the inside of the 'globe' panels.
