Description from the seller
Premium Vintage JRO Multi-Globus (ca. 1967-1969) – Illuminated & Excellent Condition
Discover a rare masterpiece of mid-century design and expert German cartography.
We are proud to present this iconic, illuminated JRO Multi-Globus, crafted by the prestigious JRO-Verlag München in the late 1960s. This specific model is a rare, fully Dutch-language edition, making it an exceptionally unique and highly sought-after collector's item for connoisseurs across Europe.
Why this is a masterpiece for your interior or collection:
• Stunning Dual-Light Effect: When turned off, the globe displays a highly detailed physical map showing relief, deep-sea basins, and ocean currents. Once the internal light is switched on, it transforms into a beautifully warm, glowing political map, radiating a highly atmospheric vintage ambience.
• A Pure Geopolitical Time Capsule: Thanks to the highly accurate cartography, this globe can be dated exactly to 1967–1969. Geopolitical milestones such as Tanzania (formed post-1964) and South Yemen (independent post-1967) are present, while the Democratic Republic of Congo still bears its historic name Congo (prior to becoming Zaire in 1971).
• Mid-Century Aesthetics: The globe is mounted on its original, sleek wooden/molded design base with a golden brass-toned meridian ring. An absolute eye-catcher that seamlessly blends into modern, Scandinavian, vintage, or high-end industrial interiors.
Specifications:
• Manufacturer: JRO-Verlag München (Cartography by Joh. Roth sel. Ww.)
• Model: Multi-Globus (Illuminated / Dual-Map)
• Scale: 1 : 40,000,000
• Language: Dutch
• Condition: In exceptionally beautiful, working vintage condition. The colors are vivid, the internal wiring and lighting function perfectly, and the body shows only minor, character-rich signs of age that enhance its authentic vintage charm.
Don't miss out on this rare opportunity to own a stunning piece of design history. This item will be safely, professionally, and securely packed to ensure break-proof transit, and will be shipped worldwide.
