A Grand Tour–style classical armillary sphere being held up by the mythological figure Atlas, mounted on a square burl wood base. The crossing spheres and arrow give this piece a sense of movement, complementing more formal neoclassical elements. The base adds weight and balance, while the classical figure of Atlas enhances its collected character. The piece can stand alone as a focal point or can be particularly effective when styled as part of a layered bookshelf or study vignette. A refined decorative accent with strong European influence. Details: Materials: Iron, burl wood Dimensions: 15"W x 11.5"D x 22.25"H Condition: Good vintage condition with natural patina
