Technical and Stylistic Details:
Historical Cartography: The maps present an antique aesthetic with warm tones (ochre, Siena earth, and sage green). They are enriched with classic illustrations: ships sailing the seas, legendary sea monsters, wind roses, and allegorical decorations in the cartouches.

Nomenclature: The naming is in Latin/Old Italian (e.g., Aequi Notialis, Mare del Zur), which enhances the historical charm of the set.

Structure: Both globes are mounted on sturdy dark wood turned bases, with a coordinated meridian arch that bears the latitude graduations.

Origin: Handmade Italian-made production (as visible from the sticker on the base), synonymous with quality in wood craftsmanship and attention to detail.

Dimensions:
Large Globe: Height 29 cm.
Small Globe: Height 19 cm.
An ideal combination to create an asymmetrical composition on a shelf or desk.

Conditions:
The items are in excellent vintage condition. They feature a beautiful patina that enhances their antique character. The wood of the bases is solid and well preserved, with minimal signs of wear that confirm authenticity and era (please view the photos for details of the bases and the surface of the paper).

Why buy them?
This set is ideal for map enthusiasts or for anyone looking to furnish with a Vintage/Classic style. The difference in scale between the two pieces allows for various display solutions, making them a prestigious gift or a perfect purchase for those seeking the charm of times past.
