| An orrery, a planetary display model |
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single living room in possession of good furnishings must be in want of an "orrery". Never heard of one you say? What century have you been living in? Oops, I seem to be 300 years too late, I've missed the heyday of these display models of heliocentric planetary systems.
