The piece in question is called 'Atomic Galaxy wall-hanging sculpture', an original artwork by C Jeré that was recently auctioned. You can see the signature in the closeup.

It might interest you to note that it was displayed (in the show) upside-down.

Their work can be found in several of the crew's quarters. As a matter of interest, professional Star Trek memorabilia collector zredthunder was offered the piece prior to the set auction but declined it due to its size and expense.

That is 100% a Jere’ piece of wall art. I had the opportunity to purchase the original when I bought one of the three Datas room marble based pieces with the chrome ball at the top also made by C. Jere’.

You can see an earlier piece with a similar style (by the same artists) below.

    @MichaelE.Smith - I'm not 100% convinced that it's the same piece. Some of the balls are missing from the auctioned one and it's got a ring that isn't on the one in the show. My (personal) guess is that it's the same and has been repaired at some point, but there's a possibility that it could be one of a sequence of semi-identical pieces.
