The Grand Orrery model of the solar system depicts the correct relative orbital speeds of the planets plus relative orbital movement of Earth’s moon. Historically, a Grand Orrery showed only the "naked eye" planets out to Saturn, as they were developed in the early 18th century.
The mechanism is fully visible under the orbiting planet and is a fascinating display of moving solid brass gears.
In fine woodwork, a twelve sided oak barrel housing, seated upon 12 solid brass feet, elegantly presents the Grand Orrery.
-An engraved brass calendar/zodiacal ring rests on 12 brass pillars which together sit above the oak barrel.
-Around the moving planets and above the calendar ring sits a removable solid brass armillary half-sphere beautifully crowning the Grand Orrery.
