Intriguing and slightly academic, "armillary sphere" puzzles showcase antique or artistic models of celestial globes — brass rings, axis arms, engraved meridians and tiny celestial markers set against starry skies or rich study backdrops. Expect warm metallic tones, intricate circular geometry, repeating arcs and reflections, plus props like star charts, leather-bound books and telescopes. Mood ranges from scholarly and nostalgic to mystical or steampunk. Great for lovers of detail, radial patterns and a gentle challenge of assembling concentric shapes. Explore both photoreal and illustrated renditions.
