AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Elegant pair of miniature desk globes, made of 800 silver with a classic globe structure on a trilobed pedestal.
The mounting is achieved through lost-wax casting, typical of Italian jewelry production, with particular care given to the details of the sundial and the base.

The spheres depict the world map with deep blue enamel and a gold geographic grid, with visible toponyms (Europe, America, Africa), which give the overall piece a strong decorative and collectible value.

Ideal objects as decorative items, high-quality paperweights, or as refined accessories for a study or a library.
