DREAM STATE ORBITER ORRERY

 
We will be making these in a very limited run.  It is designed to be a special present and indeed would be perfect for a wedding day present or to even attach an engagement ring. Imagine the moon going round the earth and delivering the ring to her across a candlelit table. (We want to see that video. In fact, the world wants to see that video.)

It would also be a very meaningful present from a parent to a grown child. 

This very special orrery (an orbiter) prominently features one of our favorites quotes from James Hart: 

“You know that place between sleep and awake, that place where you still remember dreaming? That’s where I’ll always love you. That’s where I’ll be waiting.” 
 
This one is guaranteed to make his/her heart beat faster. We painstakingly produce these models, and by dismantling them and treating every component with a faux finish, distressing and antiquing process the result is something otherworldly. The lower key is for appearance sake and does not perform a function, nor does the pulley along the gear box. There maybe some slight variance, but we can keep you involved in the process - you can help design, and I assure you that it will be a showstopper.  Lettering is in a modified Cyrillic, but can be ordered in English, etc.
 
These are fully functional. The sun lights up. The gears move the earth and moon around the sun. It is not electrified. These are plastic models (small amount of metal) which have been painted to look brass, copper and wood. (Genuine wood and metal orrerys are available online but cost upwards of thousands of dollars.) This started out as a students model to illustrate the earths rotation around the sun and the moons rotation around the earth. It is 16.5 inches across and approximately 12.5" tall which means it is a big showy piece. We do not consider this a toy for anyone under the age of 12. 

This is not metal, though we would defy you to definitely distinguish metal and wood from our faux finishes, nor is this a fine scientific instrument. The base is weighted so it has a bit of a heft when lifting. This is a functional, kinetic art object which is guaranteed to be the first thing that someone admires when coming into a room. 

This model will be signed and numbered.
