Renaissance Orrery

Introducing our new line of orrery designs: Illuminate your space with celestial elegance

Experience the union of art and science with our brand-new line of Orrery Lamps. We've recently successfully developed a model that displays a lighted Sun without sacrificing artistic quality. Our Renaissance Orrery includes a hand-painted globe reflecting the Sun in a realistic hydrogen-alpha filter.

Handcrafted at our workshop in Boulder, CO, USA, the Renaissance Orrery  is a testament to over 28 years of expertise in creating fine Orreries and scientific instruments. Each model is a unique design conceptualized and brought to life by Science Art.

Features of the Renaissance Orrery Lamp

• An 8-planet Solar System model portraying the Sun and planets from Mercury to Neptune, with a small dial representing the minor planet Pluto.
• The Sun, a hand-painted globe, in which our proprietary LED lighting system casts a gentle glow, creates a warm ambiance.
• Activate the motion of the orrery and/or the lamp with a discreet switch located at the rear of the unit or through an included remote control.
• Designed with convenience in mind, the Renaissance Orrery features an internal battery. 
• Assembly is a breeze, taking only about 10 minutes, thanks to the easy-to-follow instructions provided.

Materials & Size

• All mechanical components such as gears, tubes, planet arms, and drive, are meticulously constructed using premium materials including brass, stainless steel, and nylon bearings.
• The planets and moons, are crafted from semi-precious stones (identified in the owner's manual). While natural variations in stone occur, we try to represent each planet's "color" with closest approximation to their NASA representation.
• The Sun is a hand-painted globe, which threads onto the interior bulb. 
• The mechanical gearwork and motor sit within a solid walnut stand with anodized black legs. 
• A brass engraved calendar ring sits above and surrounds the solid brass gearwork mechanism.
