Azure
Armillary sphere in sky-blue anodized aluminium with brass
£235 to £270
An eye-catching armillary with rings of sky-blue anodized aluminium with brass fittings, including the Horizon, the gnomon shaft, the stand, the fitted Roman numerals, and twin brass balls marking the north and south poles. The more usual arrow head and tail can of course be fitted if preferred.
The motto for this dial
The seasons dance to the rhythm of time

Your inscription
Brass and Bronze are both excellent for engraving, Aluminium less so. The full globe armillaries offer an ideal surface for your personal message: along the top facing side of the Equator.
On sundials which do not have a surface suitable for engraving, a separate brass plaque can usually be fixed to the top of the pedestal to provide a fine alternative.
Robert's guide price for an inscription is from £65.00.
Shown along the top facing side of the equator band, which is where Robert cuts it on the full globe armillaries.
One line, up to 68 characters (39 so far). Longer wordings and verses are possible on some pieces, so ask Robert if yours will not fit.
Your wording travels with you to the next step. Nothing is ordered here: the commission page sets out the piece, the size and the wording for Robert to confirm with you.
