The little-known GPS of Ancient Times. Perhaps the most used multipurpose astronomical instrument in history, the astrolabe is known to have been in use since at least 200BC and rose to prominence in the Middle Ages. Essentially, it’s an elaborate inclinometer-cum-slide rule, used to measure the altitude above the horizon of a celestial body. It can be used to identify stars or planets, to determine local latitude, to survey, and even determine your horoscope. The arrival, in the 17th-18th centuries, of accurate sextants and reliable portable chronometers rendered the astrolabe obsolete for navigation at sea, but it remains a fascinating and little-understood instrument. This replica, in polished brass, sits in a wooden plinth and stands 18cm tall.

Everything about this ornament is perfect. The size and colour are as stated/shown in the specifications and the picture. It arrived perfectly packed and when I opened it I was delighted to see it was even better than I had anticipated. Everyone who has seen it it are 'knocked out' by it and say what a beautiful addition to the room and it is so in keeping with the décor of the room. In my opinion it is perfect and well worth every penny I spent on it.. Charles Edward. St. Neots, GB. Tue Aug 31 2021

Developed in 1938 from a Schneider trophy-winning design by the aeronautical engineer and designer R.J Mitchell, the Supermarine Spitfire became the hero of the Battle of Britain in the summer of 1940. Spitfires remained in service until 1961 – well into the jet age – by which time more than 20,000 had been produced. In tribute, this Spitfire desk sculpture has been cast in solid recycled aluminium and polished to a high sheen such that its subtle curves and angles catch the light.

Aboard HMS Beagle during the Darwin Expeditions of 1831-36, Captain Robert Fitzroy developed and refined the 18th-century storm bottle. This involved much testing and observation of crystal formations and resulted in him being able to make a number of weather predictions with a fair(is) degree of accuracy. Then, as now, no one is quite sure how the storm bottle works. Is it atmospheric pressure, temperature, electrical disturbances? Keep your own records and see if you can confirm or improve upon Fitzroy’s observations.

Aboard the HMS Beagle during the darwin expeditions of 1831-36, Captain Robert Fitzroy developed and refined the 18th-century storm bottle. This involved much testing and observation and resulted in him being able to make a number of weather predictions with a fair(ish) degree of accuracy. The point is that then as now, no one is quite sure how the storm bottle works. Is it atmospheric pressure, temperature, electrical disturbances, and it's this element of uncertainty, of almost magical alchemy, that makes these storm bottles so fascinating. Stands 16 cm high on a traditional wooden base and comes with Fitzroy's observations. Will you agree with them or find new interpretations? The mystery's been going on for nearly 180 years. And looks set to continue.
