Columbus Weimar 16 Inch Illuminated Glass Desktop Globe

Description

The Columbus Weimar 16 Inch Illuminated Glass Desktop Globe features a lavish design and stunning cartography. The 16 inch sphere reaches 20 inches when cradled on its exquisite brass colored steel base and tubular semi-meridian. The golden hue of the brushed steel stand matches the colors of the political map and adds to its sophisticated style. The nostalgic ROYAL map features an antique colored ocean which recalls the cartography of yesteryear. Packed with geographic information like contemporary place names shipping routes and water currents the ROYAL map sets the earth-toned patchwork of the landmasses against the beige waters. Flip on this illuminated globe's light switch and watch as physical details of the planet also become apparent on the sphere's surface. The Columbus globe is a handcrafted beauty. The large 16 inch glass sphere was hand blown by the German manufacturer's skilled artisans. Columbus remains the only company that still produces glass world globes by hand. Then craftspeople manually cut and apply the maps to the desktop globes. The individual attention given to each model ensures their stellar quality. The Columbus Weimar 16 Inch Illuminated Glass Desktop Globe is an extraordinary addition to a desk coffee table or bookshelf.
