Walnut legs and gold hued frame accent this world flatteringly Looks great from any angle and may be placed anywhere! Globes have been a sign of culture and education for centuries. The individuals who possessed maps were the most valued and knew, literally where they were and how to get places. When Ghenghis Khan pillaged and burned villages, his adviser Yehlu Chutsai, implored him not to destroy maps or scrolls and as a result had the largest collection of maps which facilitated the Mongols widespread travels. Leaders and statesmen have had globes in their living spaces prominently displayed, as a symbol of their influence and reach. Even In the internet age, there is nothing quite like being able to hold a globe and gain the perspectives it affords. Fine vintage condition. Light general age wear. A wonderful addition to your New York penthouse, Florida estate or Palm Springs atomic ranch home!
