Description from the seller

Lot consisting of 2 beautiful globes made using inlays of lapis lazuli and other natural semiprecious stones.

Brass-plated metal supporting structure.

Measurements of the larger globe, including base: approximately 20 cm high x 19 cm in diameter, weight approximately 1 kg.

Measurements of the smaller globe, including base: approximately 14 cm high x 11 cm in diameter, weight approximately 0.36 kg.

Each country has been inlaid with a different natural stone (where possible, the stone was selected for its origin in that particular country); an example of Italian craftsmanship and artistic skill!

Spectacular objects you simply must own, perfect for brightening up your home and adding a touch of elegance and sophistication!
Excellent decorative pieces for an impressive living room or elegant study!
They will capture the attention of all your guests.

In good condition, with only a few signs of past use;
Please note: the metal structure has some slight spotting and is discoloured in a few places (please refer to the photos for more details on the item's condition).

Please note: the larger globe has a circular section that probably once housed a compass, which is no longer present.

Please note: the wine bottle is shown for illustrative purposes only; it is not included in this lot and will not be shipped.

The photos form an integral part of the description.

Please note: the original colours may differ slightly from those shown in the photos due to the different ways colours are displayed on the various monitors or screens used.

The item will be packed with great care to protect it during shipping (the package will be substantial in size and weight—the shipping costs have been calculated accordingly).

Please check the shipping costs before placing your bids; these costs are calculated as a flat rate based on an estimate of the future shipping and packaging costs. By placing a bid, you agree to the shipping costs stated in the listing.
Please note: should the shipping cost turn out to be higher than the amount estimated and stated here, we reserve the right to request payment of the difference in order to ship the item.
