French Hand Carved Wooden Armillary
About the Item
A rare and visually captivating French hand carved armillary sphere, dating to around 1900. Crafted entirely of wood and meticulously hand painted, this antique scientific model showcases celestial precision with an artisan's touch.
Elegant Latin inscriptions, zodiac signs, and planetary orbits are thoughtfully rendered, all supported by a sculptural red base with a black octagonal foot. The craftsmanship reflects the artistry of turn of the century French design both educational and decorative.
There is minor damage in two areas consistent with age, but it remains structurally sound and visually striking. A collector’s piece with old world charm and astronomical significance.
