AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Editions RICO Florence – Large vintage world globe on Art Deco-style wooden stand – Italy – 1960s/1970s
A particularly decorative vintage globe from Editions RICO Florence, Made in Italy, dating from around the 1960s/1970s.
What immediately sets this globe apart is the beautiful tall wooden stand. The spun base and gracefully curved wooden meridian have a distinctly Art Deco-inspired design, giving the globe an elegant and almost sculptural look.
The globe features a stunning classic map image in deep blues, creams, yellows, and earth tones. The Dutch-language cartography is richly detailed with countries, cities, seas, and geographical descriptors.
The globe bears the original maker's mark:
EDITIONS RICO FLORENCE – MADE IN ITALY
Scale 1:51,000,000
With a total height of no less than 47 cm, this is a striking and atmospheric object. The combination of Italian craftsmanship, vintage cartography, and the special wooden stand makes this globe not only functional but above all a beautiful decorative piece.
A stylish eye-catcher for a living room, office, library, or a collection of vintage design and cartographic objects.
