This uniquely designed piece features four 25w Edison-style tube bulbs arranged satellite-style around a brass sphere. An in-line rotary dial rheostat switch controls the level of light, from quite bright to just barely visible. 
The custom candelabra base bulbs are pleasantly warm and bright, with a slight amber hue - very easy on the eye, and rated to last 3,0000 hrs. at full brightness, much more if dimmed at all.
This illuminated object is perfect for a den, bedroom, living room or bookcase. It casts a very warm candlelight-like color, and can be bright enough to read by. The concentric rings are adjustable, and the sphere may be turned to adjust the angle of the tube bulbs.

It measures 19.5" tall, 17" wide (including the arrow head and tail), 12" round, and is made entirely of brass with a solid brass base.

The armillary sphere was invented hundreds of years ago as a tool for modeling the position and motion of a heavenly body. The rings would be adjusted in order to trace the path of the stars. Some credit its invention to a Greek named Eratosthenos. Others have said that Chinese or other Greek scholars invented it. Regardless of its inventor, the armillary sphere is one of the oldest astronomical instruments in the world.

All electrical materials used are UL, CE, and/or CCC approved, and the unit has been thoroughly tested for safety, reliability and soundness.

Your satisfaction ensured:  Should this piece ever require servicing apart from bulb replacement, accident, or misuse, we will promptly provide a repair at no charge save shipping.
