Description from the seller
Wooden globe – Italian design – 1960s
Original and sought-after wooden desk globe, made in Italy in the 1960s, which probably once concealed a battery-powered radio perfectly integrated into the structure. A piece that best represents the multifunctional design of the period, when aesthetics, technology and craftsmanship blended to create elegant and innovative furnishings.
Entirely made of wood, the globe is embellished with refined classical-style cartography with meridian and equatorial belt decorated. The sober lines of the turned stand and the warm wood tone give it a timeless charm, making it an ideal accessory for a study, a library, a living room or a collection dedicated to design of the Twentieth Century.
Even when completely closed, the globe retains an elegant and refined aesthetic, becoming an authentic piece of furniture.
This is a piece that is increasingly rare today, particularly appreciated by collectors of vintage radios, globes and Italian vintage design.
