Ancient perpetual calendar

Perpetual calendar – Florence – 1800s – Etching and walnut plate.

An ancient rarity, this perpetual calendar discovered in Florence, from 1800 and framed in its own original solid walnut plate.

Etching engraving which, via an upper hook, turns various wheels behind it: they move the days of the week, the names of the planets, the setting of the sun, the length of the days, the signs of the zodiac... In short, a truly complete perpetual calendar.

Working, with effort, but working, foxing, stains and wear, but truly a tasty antique gem.
