Inspired by the original Orrery and the classical scientific instruments of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
This mechanical model of the solar system is not only a work of art, but a functioning model of the solar system as it is known in the time that we are living.
When complete, this beautiful model stands 37cm high with a span of 60cm at it widest point – a truly impressive museum-quality statement piece to display and use in your own home.

Orreries are fascinating things. They are instructive and they are also beautiful. Until now they have not been easy to obtain. This orrery is attractive and accurate, and I heartily recommend it.
