Capturing time in its sculptural form, an armillary sphere will bring an impressive focus to your garden. If you are looking for a very special gift, perhaps as a personalised wedding gift or to celebrate an important anniversary, an armillary sphere engraved with your thoughts and good wishes, makes a magnificent present that will last a lifetime.
Or if you are looking for something very special to add interest to your own garden, our handsome, handmade armillary spheres will bring pleasure to you, your family and friends for years to come.
Our armillary spheres have plenty of space for your own special words, dates, inspirational mottoes or good wishes. There is a list of our favoutite mottoes here and there are details of how much engraving you can include on our spheres here. (although this is just a guide and I try my utmost to fit on all your words).
To show your armillary sphere to best effect in the garden, we also offer a wide range of plinths suitable for both traditional and contemporary settings.
Our armillary spheres come in a range of sizes from 50cm up to an impressive 110cm diameter and can be made from marine grade Italian brass, verdigris bronzed or polished stainless steel.
The spheres are precision engineered and only ever made to commission. Each one is unique and will be made with your choice of words and for your precise location. For details of our dials please look at our brass, verdigris and stainless steel portfolio pages.
If you would like to commission an armillary sphere, you may wish to book a site visit to discuss your needs and to see our spheres displayed in your garden, although this isn’t essential and we will always make sure your armillary is just as you want it.
