The first solar timepiece being marketed by Courtyard Sundials is an Armillary Sphere, cast in naval brass, with the hours embossed on the equator band. The shaft of an arrow acts as the gnomon, which casts the shadow. The dial weighs 12 lbs (5.5 kg), is approximately 20 ins (51 cm) high, with a diameter of just under 17 ins (43cm).

Hand-crafted in England from naval brass, the armillary dial makes a stunning focal point and feature in any garden. For that individual touch, each sundial can be personalised with an engraved brass dedication plaque.

The armillary sundial can be mounted on any stone pedestal and Courtyard Sundials has a selection for your choice. This armillary design is exclusively available direct from Courtyard Sundials and a number of carefully selected outlets - contact us for your nearest stockist.
