Armillary Sundial Bookends - Brass Sundial

Antique Armillary Sundial Bookends. The magnificent design of these brass armillary sundial bookends is derived from an ancient design created by Eratosthenes, a Greek mathematician and astronomer, in order to demonstrate the motion of the stars around the earth. This design, called the armillary sphere has been used and remodeled throughout centuries and was considered in the Renaissance as a symbol of wisdom and knowledge. Perched on a black wooden base, the patina finish gives these bookends an antique look that makes for a beautiful accessory in any home or office.
