-Ptolemaic armillary sphere by Charles François Delamarche in printed cardboard set in a later metal structure and mounted on a blackened wooden base.

Armillary spheres were more commonly used as masterly demonstration or calculation instruments. In the 18th century, they were very much in vogue in libraries and scientific or curiosity cabinets.

-Le globe terrestre signé, Delamarche / n°12 / Rue des Jardinets / Paris

-Composite work from the first quart of 19th century and after.
