With its clean lines and warm tones, this piece has a classic arts & craft if not mission style feel. The wooden base I paired with a copper and bronze meridian, holding a glass orb. Rich colored lands compliment the green oceans on the map and provide a perfectly aged patina. When illuminated this globe offers an intimate, warm atmosphere. A sophisticated statement of understated elegance. Politically of interest as the year 1948 is clearly documented, displaying Palestine and Israel together, highlighted in red. With the globe we will also provide a copy of an original manufacture's catalog offering this model. Diameter of the orb is 10.5 inches with a total height of about 16.5 inches. In very good condition and functional. Minimal soiling, one scuffmark with minimal loss of map (see picture), some scratch marks to the base. $485 — Item #: KS411IllC48 - SOLD
