Black Oceans contrast bold rich colored lands, complemented by a black base with brilliant chrome details. A statement piece, combining form and function at its best! The exceptional design will dominate as art as much as a historic artifact.

This model is displaying the political borders of the post WW2 era. In Africa, the last of colonies can still be viewed, including the Belgian Congo and French West Africa. Tibet is still shown independent, as it was to be occupied by China in 1951.

The globe itself is made of pressboard covered with paper gores representing the map. Oceans are black rather than the more common green-blue. The half meridian and base both have a lovely chrome finish. The Globe is in very good condition. Colors are brilliant, details are crisp. Some scuffing is visible along the equator tape. The chrome finish is in overall nice condition with brilliant shine. No cracks or rust.
