AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Rare tabletop globe - RICO Florence - Years '50s/'60s
Resin / Gilded wood / Metal, approximately 24x24x25 cm.
Description:
Beautiful vintage globe by Edizioni RICO - Florence, presumably built in the 1950s-60s. The globe — which retains maps with a beautiful patina of time, still in original condition and never restored — is suspended on an inlaid and skillfully gilded wooden base, and it rotates smoothly within its azimuthal circle.
Sought after by collectors, its compact size makes it suitable for adding a touch of history and atmosphere, even simply as a decorative accessory.
The conditions are good considering the age: see the many photos, which serve as a description, and which perhaps do not fully convey the charm of the original patina.
The materials used testify to a perfect blend of new and old: Il Globo is indeed made of resin.
Suspended on a worked wooden hexagonal structure.
The uniqueness of the rotating globe, the antique cartographic reproduction, and the brand 'by Rico Firenze / Made in Italy' make it even more sought after among collectors of items.
cartographic and historical, and for those looking for a gift
Decorative that evokes emotion.
Shipping: professional and trackable packaging; possibility of hand delivery in the Bergamo or Milan area.
