Armillary Spheres
 

An armillary sphere is a traditional garden ornament inspired by early astronomical instruments, formed from interlocking rings that symbolise the movement of the heavens. At Metalcraft, these forms are adapted for outdoor use, combining classic geometry with durable construction.

Materials & Configuration

Armillary spheres can be crafted in corten steel or powder coated alloy, with optional brass inserts. Each piece can be customised to suit its setting and mounted on a plinth, table, or steel or alloy stand.

Application
 

Designed as focal points, armillary spheres are suited to gardens, courtyards, and landscaped spaces where structure, proportion, and permanence are required.

Custom made in Christchurch

Each armillary sphere is manufactured to order, allowing materials, scale, and mounting options to be tailored to the site.
