A decorative spiral globe or armillary sphere tabletop sculpture by Maitland-Smith, known for producing high quality luxury decorative furnishings and accessories. The openwork sphere is formed from spiraling gilt metal bands creating a dynamic globe form, surmounted by a small finial. The sculpture is mounted on a turned support rising from a square base with ornate trim and four small feet. The base features a dark stone or marble insert that contrasts with the gilt metal structure. With its elegant classical styling and sculptural presence, this Maitland-Smith piece serves as a striking decorative accent suitable for desks, library shelves, or tabletop displays.
Dimensions: H:18in W:9in
Condition Report:
Good condition with wear consistent with age and handling. Minor scuffs and light surface wear to the gilt metal finish. Base and structure remain stable and display well overall.
