Desk decorative globe made of brass with a wooden and brass tripod, estimated period 1990–2000, about 44 cm high and 23 cm in diameter, nautical style, in good used condition with signs of age.
Description from the seller
Elegant decorative tabletop globe, made of metal with a brass finish and mounted on an attractive wooden and brass tripod, inspired by ancient navigational and cartographic instruments.
The sphere, approximately 23 cm in diameter, features world cartography engraved directly on the metal surface, with continents, countries, oceans and geographic lines clearly represented. It is suspended on a metallic meridian that allows it to rotate, giving it the characteristic appearance of nautical-style globes.
It notably stands out for its elaborate three-legged stand, combining wood, brass and articulated metal supports, a construction uncommon for simpler tabletop globes. Its gold finish, accompanied by slight signs and variations typical of the passage of time, provides the piece with an attractive vintage patina.
A very decorative piece, ideal for a cabinet of curiosities, library, study, cartographic collection or nautical decor, and especially appealing to collectors of vintage globes, decorative scientific instruments and colonial-style objects.
Dimensions: approximately 44 cm in height × 23 cm diameter of the sphere.
It is kept in good overall condition, with signs of use and aging consistent with its vintage character. The photographs are part of the description and allow a detailed appreciation of its condition.
