French Armillary Sphere on Stone Column Description: Early 20th century French metal armillary sphere on an associated 19th century carved Cotswold stone pedestal with stepped octagonal-shaped base.

This piece will make for an ideal focal point in any garden setting. Measurements: 76" height Price: SOLD Phone: 312-738-9747 E-mail: finnegangallery@sbcglobal.net
