Antique-Style Brass Astrolabe with Chain – Wholesale Heritage Gifts

Keep Wonder Within Reach

Some gifts celebrate an answer. Others honour the person who keeps asking questions: the teacher who opens a new world, the graduate who refuses to stop learning, the friend who still looks up at the night sky with curiosity.

At Aladean, we offer this antique-style brass astrolabe for that enduring spirit of enquiry. Its layered face and engraved scales invite a closer look, making it a meaningful reminder that discovery is a habit worth passing on.

Details That Reward a Closer Look

• Brass astrolabe reproduction with an antique-style finish.
• Circular body with engraved markings and graduated edge scales.
• Layered openwork front and central fittings.
• Reverse face with a grid, curved scales and pivoted bar.
• Ornate upper section, suspension ring and attached chain.
• Listed dimensions: 14 cm high × 9 cm wide.
• One complete astrolabe with its pictured ring and chain per standard unit.

Confirm height measurement points, including the suspension components, and width against an approved sample. Review thickness, weight, moving components and finish before bulk production. A display stand, wooden case or additional accessories are not included unless separately agreed.

The design is offered as an Islamic-style astrolabe reproduction and heritage-inspired display piece. It is not an authenticated antique. Existing inscriptions and scale markings do not establish provenance, maker affiliation, translated meaning or calibrated astronomical performance. Scientific, navigation and timekeeping accuracy are not promised. No rust-proof or abrasion-proof performance is claimed.

Wholesale Collections for Curious Minds

As your manufacturer and wholesale supplier, we welcome heritage and museum shops, gift retailers, online resellers, importers, distributors, educational gift buyers and corporate recognition teams. Consider collections celebrating learning, mentorship, discovery and new beginnings, without presenting the replica as a verified scientific instrument.

A dedication can connect the piece to a teacher, colleague or loved one. The value of that message belongs to the recipient, not to a claim about the artifact's age or origin.

MOQ and Per-Unit Pricing

Standard MOQ: 100 complete astrolabes. Genuine B2B and corporate projects may discuss flexibility by prior agreement. Smaller orders are not automatically accepted.

The displayed price is for one standard complete astrolabe, not the total minimum order. Personalization, design changes, separately agreed accessories and freight arrangements are quoted separately. Confirm sample availability, charges and dispatch arrangements before sample supply.

A Dedication for a Lifetime of Questions

Consider a name, milestone date or a short thought such as “Never stop wondering.” Discuss suitable unmarked space or a separately quoted plaque. The dense scales and inscriptions limit available engraving space; we do not automatically cover markings or interfere with pivots and moving parts.

For agreed personalization, purchase the Aladean Personalization Add-On with the astrolabe in the same cart. Provide exact wording, preferred language and requested component and surface in order notes.

The service is separately purchased. We agree feasibility, space, artwork, script suitability, service quantities, charges and timing. One add-on does not automatically cover every unit or multiple surfaces in a bulk order. Added wording does not automatically replace existing inscriptions. Approve the digital mockup before customized production.

Approve the Sample and Supply Brief

Review the face and reverse markings, finish, layered construction, central fittings, component movement, ring and chain attachment. Confirm dimensions, actual and packed weight, accessory inventory, display arrangements and packing requirements before bulk approval.

We welcome international sourcing enquiries. Send business details, quantity, destination and postal code, intended collection, required date and artwork brief. Sample review, approvals, production, dispatch and transit timing are agreed together. We commit only to what we can deliver. Free freight, express delivery, certified performance and arrival by an event deadline are not assumed.

Trade Buyer Questions

Is it a genuine antique?
No. It is an antique-style brass reproduction.

Is astronomical accuracy guaranteed?
No. It is offered as a heritage-inspired gift and display piece, not a calibrated scientific instrument.

Is a case or stand included?
No case or stand is promised in the standard unit. Discuss accessories separately.

Can we engrave a dedication?
Discuss suitable space and artwork first, then purchase the separate service and approve a mockup.

Can we order fewer than 100?
Discuss a genuine B2B or corporate project first. Any exception requires prior agreement.

Care and Display

Handle gently by the body without forcing the central fittings or pulling the chain. Display securely on a stable surface or a separately agreed support. Do not assume the ring or chain has a tested suspension load rating. Keep dry, dust with a soft cloth and avoid immersion, abrasives and unapproved polishing treatments that could affect the finish or markings.
