Description from the seller

Large Glass Illuminated Globe

Columbus Duo Illuminated Globe • 1930s

Our complete globe in a compact size dating from the first half to the mid-20th century from the Columbus Verlag Berlin Stuttgart. Through the DUO principle, the globe simultaneously depicts two map images – one when illuminated, the other when unlit. The Columbus Duos were among the most beautiful illuminated globes of the Art Deco era. The wooden stand with a chrome-plated hemisphere in which the globe reflects and the half-meridian ring made of aluminum with degree markings turn this educational viewing object into a decorative element in the study.
