Two decorative items from Europe: a small desk globe on a varnished wooden base with a metal ring and a papier globe, dating to about 1980–1990, and a small rustic solid-wood chest with metal fittings and a functional lock dating to about 1990–2000, both in near-new, unused condition.
Description from the seller
ITEM 1 - Small decorative terrestrial globe on a wooden base
Decorative office globe depicting an ancient-inspired world map, mounted on a varnished wooden base. The globe is surrounded by a decorative graduated ring, reminiscent of navigation and astronomy instruments.
Mainly a decorative object, made in a vintage/retro style.
Modern manufacturing, estimated to end in the late 20th century.
Estimated materials: printed paper on a rigid backing for the globe, painted metal for the ring, wood for the base.
Good overall condition, with light signs of use and small marks related to age and handling (see photos).
Ideal for office décor, a library, or interiors in a classic style or with a cabinet of curiosities.
ITEM 2 - Small solid wood chest with metal fittings – rustic style, antique decorative object
Small antique solid-wood chest, rustic and artisanal in style, featuring decorative metal hardware with a functional locking mechanism.
The chest shows a beautiful natural patina, a testament to its age and use, with carved and textured wood, giving it a lot of character. The visible traces of time enhance its authenticity and vintage charm.
The exact species of the wood is not known, but it is very likely solid wood (pine-type or softwood), given the grain and the structure.
Dimensions (approximate)
Height: 15 cm
Length: 30 cm
Depth: 10 cm
