Equinoctial dial

Universal equinoctial dial for all latitudes. The hour-circle is silvered and hinged to the north side of the dial-plate. A brass strut attached to the hour-circle supports a brass rod gnomon. The latitude arc, divided from the tip [0├×_]-[90├×_], is hinged to the east side of the dial-plate. Set into the base-plate, the compass is made of silvered brass. It features a highly decorated four-point rose with the cardinal and quadrantal points named by English initials. It has a thick needle (slightly rusty) surmounted by a brass cylindrical pivot and has an arm to lift it and lock it in position against the glass. There are also two brass bubble levels set into it. A glass plate covers all.

Manufactured in the UK

All products are printed in the UK, using the latest digital presses and a giclée printmaking process.

We only use premium branded inks, and colours are independently verified to last between 100 and 200 years.

Delivery & returns

We print everything to order so delivery times may vary but all framed pictures are despatched within 5-7 days via courier or recorded mail.

Due to the coronovirus pandemic and Brexit situation, current shipping times may be longer, particularly for destinations outside the UK.

Delivery to the UK is £10 for a single framed print.

We will happily replace your order if everything isn’t 100% perfect.
