Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:7970 |
This globe shows the night sky and solar constellations. I believe that the constellations and stars are individually cut from mother of pearl and the suns are Lustrous Aragonite. The constellations are joined together by gold coloured wire as are the lines of Latitude and Longitude. The globe is mounted on a brass tripod which has a compass in its base. This is a beautiful and very interesting piece which I believe is accurate and authenticated Astronomica...l Society.Height is 14.5 inches or 37mm, centre globe part approx. 9 inches or 220mm. - all measurements are approximate. The globe is in lovely, undamaged condition. The original box is still with the globe and will be posted out with it. It is located just outside of Plymouth and I am happy for it to be collected in person to save the cost of a courier. This item will be sent by Hermes tracked courier so you must ensure that you either will be available to sign for it, have a neighbour who will do so on your behalf.
