AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A scenographic pair of vintage Italian illuminated globes, differing in style and cartography, and particularly captivating when displayed and lit together.
The first is a Nova Rico Firenze Ricoglobus, Made in Italy, with cartography in refined tones of gray, ivory and gold, a dark circular base, and a slanted metal stand. It retains the original manufacturer label and bears the scale 1:42,500,000.
The second, from an unidentified manufacturer, features a livelier multicolored cartography on a yellow background, a graduated arc, and a substantial chrome-looking structure. Once lit, the globe takes on a warm amber hue that enhances the cartography and makes it particularly decorative.
Both globes are illuminated and functioning, as documented in the photographs.
Together they form a striking pair, capable of evoking the charm of travel, exploration, and interiors from the second half of the twentieth century: particularly suitable for a library, a study, a collection, or an eclectic Chamber of Wonders setting.
They show normal signs of wear consistent with their vintage nature; the photographs are an integral part of the description.
As these are vintage electrical devices, it is recommended to check the electrical system before extended use.
