Terrestrial table globe - Lapis Lazuli Gemstone - 1980-1990

10" Lapis Lazuli Semi-Precious Gemstone Globe Brass Stand Vintage Compass.

A high-end decorative craft piece, where each nation is hand inlaid and cut from a different stone. The lines of latitude and longitude are made with thin wires of brass or gilded metal inlaid on the surface. The structure is a solid four legged base in brass with a graduated 'horizon' ring.

The compass, a distinctive detail, is integrated into the base of the stand and works well.

Structure and globe in excellent condition with a few blemishes to the brass.
