Armillary Sundials

Armillary Sundials

A most distinguished garden ornament, for the discerning landscaper
We have now produced a delightful collection of Armillaries some of which are reproduced from famous, ancient Armillaries still in existence. We have also sculptured and designed some of our own in what has become a new and unique collection. Whilst we know that time stands still for no man, what better way to "mark it" than by having your own ornamental Armillary proudly displayed in your own beloved garden.

If you would like to further enhance your precious new Sundial or Armillary, why not complete the look with a specially designed Sundial or Armillary Column. These columns are very sturdy and are designed to support the weight and size of even our grandest Armillary. For your Armillary and Sundial columns please click on this link
Garden Sundial Columns.

We have included special installation literature for you to be able to set up your Armillary, in your chosen location. If you need help setting up your Armilary please click this link Armilary Instruction Sheet .

For more information on Sundials and Armillaries you may wish to contact the British Sundial Society on their website www.sundialsoc.org.uk.

Antique Silver Armillary complete with Stand

Part Number: HS042/AS

Antique Silver Armillary complete with Stand close up shot
Antique Silver Armillary complete with stand, made from solid brass, and finished with our renowned antique silver finish.
We have chosen to fill in the detail by hand with an antique black to highlight the lovely markings and give a feeling of depth to the decoration and numeral design.
Armillaries are very old time pieces and have a considerable history attached to them, however, with this particular Armillary we thought it would be a little different to produce it in antique silver. This then gives it an altogether different look, possibly a little more contemporary. This Armillary comes complete with its own lovely ornate plinth, it really is quite magnificent.

Height: 1050mm (41¼"), Package size: 300mm x 300mm x 780mm (12" x 12" x 31") approx. Weight: 8kg approx.

Serpent Armillary

close up of the Serpent Armillary
The Serpent Armillary, this is an armillary that certainly belongs in a garden or terrace of discernable quality. It is the biggest and heaviest armillary that we have ever created, and is quite awe inspiring to see. It features the neck and head of a serpent about to strike its prey, which curves at the top of the armillary, whilst the arrow which passes through the middle of the armillary has a very finely detailed head and flight. Ornate decoration and classic roman numerals complete the design.

Bright Chrome Armillary

Part Number: HS026/BC

Bright Chrome Armillary
Our Bright Chrome Armillary has a bright modern finish to a lovely old design.
We are quite a traditional bunch of folk here at black country metal works, but even here we sometimes like to do things a little differently! We loved this look, and think, for all you trendy people with decking and modern, chrome object d’art, this will make a great addition and will blend in perfectly. Of course, as with all our Armillaries, they all look amazing indoors too.
This particular one has lovely Roman numerals depicted along its time line.
We have chosen to display this on our verdigris sundial and armillary column, which is sold separately. We think it adds just the right finishing touch!

Armilary Wrought Iron Scroll Design

Armilary Wrought Iron Scroll Design

Part Number: HS040

The genuine article an armillary made from wrought iron and antiqued in our own special finish. That really does provide a beautiful statement in your garden that has been weighted so that they don’t fall over in the wind, as with cheaper alternatives. However we still recommend using mastic or all weather adhesive to secure the item to your column or chosen surface. We recommend either a light oiling every season or using hammerite paints but invariably they are seasoned to provide a very rustic aged appearance, so if it was my choice I would suggest leaving the item to age naturally.
