Description from the seller

Lot comprising 2 precious globes crafted with lapis lazuli inlay and other natural semi-precious stones.

Support structure in gilded metal.

Dimensions of the larger globe with base: approximately 20 cm in height by 19 cm in diameter, weight approximately 1 kg.

Dimensions of the smaller globe with base: approximately 14 cm in height by 11 cm in diameter, weight approximately 0.36 kg.

Each country has been inlaid with a different natural stone (where possible, the stone was chosen for its origin from that country); a sample of the workmanship and Italian artisan and artistic prowess!

Spectacular objects to own, indispensable to liven up and add a touch of elegance and refinement to your home!
Excellent furnishing elements for a grand living room or an elegant study!
They will capture the attention of all your guests.

In good condition, with only minor signs of past use;
Note: the metal frame is slightly pitted and, in some places, discolored (please refer to the photos for more details on the item's condition).

Note: on the larger globe there is a circular section that probably once housed a compass, now absent.

Note: the wine bottle is photographed for demonstration purposes only; it is not sold with this lot and will not be shipped.

Photos are an integral part of the description.

Note: the original colors may appear slightly different from the photos due to the different ways of displaying colors on various monitors or screens used.

The item will be carefully packed to protect it during shipping (the packaging will be of substantial size and weight—the shipping costs have been calculated based on these criteria).

Please check the shipping prices before placing bids; these prices are set forfettario (flat) based on the estimated future shipping cost and packing cost. By placing a bid you accept the shipping costs as stated in the listing.
Note: in the event that shipping turns out to be more expensive than anticipated and shown here, we reserve the right to request extra payment to cover the difference in price to enable shipment.
