AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Elegant miniature vintage globe (terrestrial globe) in antique style, with an authentic aged look: yellow/brown continents, blue oceans and detailed maps. Mounted on a sturdy wooden base with a dark patina, complete with brass meridian ring (degree scale) and horizon circle. At the top a decorative brass finial for balance, with built-in windrose/compass.

Light signs of wear and patina on wood/brass (typical for age), the globe intact without cracks, the meridian rotates smoothly, colors still bright but with nostalgic aging. No restorations visible; perfect as a decorative object. Ideal for collectors of vintage globes, nautical items, retro interiors or as a atmospheric accent on a desk, shelf or bookcase. A charming, compact piece of discovery history – inspired by classic cartography!
