A contemporary desktop globe featuring landmasses composed of various inlaid semi-precious stones and minerals, set against a yellow-toned ocean surface. The globe is mounted within a brass gimbal-style stand, comprising a meridian ring and a wide horizon ring, both of which are etched with degree markings. The structure is supported by four turned legs connected to an X-shaped base. Inset into the centre of the base is a circular compass with a black dial and white directional and degree markings. The brass components exhibit a darkened patina. Although this piece resembles globes produced by makers such as Unique Art, no maker marks are visible.
Width: Approximately 22 cm.
