AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Illuminated three-dimensional globe "Nova Edizioni Rico - Firenze" - 1970s - Made in Italy.
A fascinating vintage terrestrial globe; a piece of original 1970s modern design, produced in Italy by Edizioni Rico Firenze.
The globe is illuminated, equipped with a functioning internal light that enhances its cartography, with raised (3D) details; the surface of the globe indeed features the continents and mountain ranges in relief, offering a unique tactile and visual experience.
A salient feature is the map predating historical events such as the fall of the Berlin Wall, showing nations like the USSR and Yugoslavia, as proof of the object's originality.
The globe sphere has a diameter of 30 cm, the overall dimensions are: 43x33x30 cm, for a total weight of about 1.2 kilograms.
In excellent vintage condition with very light, normal signs of wear from time and age. No breaks or chips, colors are bright, base is solid and stable. Tested and working with original wiring from the era.
The indicated scale is 1:42,000,000.
This globe is not just a decorative object, but an authentic piece of Italian design history.
An iconic piece with a base and frame in the era's characteristic design, perfect as a decorative accessory for living rooms, studies, or offices.
Please review the photographic gallery carefully, as it is an integral part of the description, to avoid any unpleasant misunderstandings.
Careful packaging and shipment with tracking.
Seller's Story
For over 20 years, I have dedicated myself passionately to the search for and trading of special, rare, curious objects from any era.
Every piece I select has something that captures my attention: it can be the shape, the story, the unusual... or simply that detail that makes it unique.
I am always searching for objects that speak, that tell something to those who know how to listen.
I choose them carefully, photograph them honestly, and describe them as accurately as possible.
Selling on Catawiki to share this passion with those who, like me, love to surround themselves with things with a soul.
