Illuminated Globe - Columbia Duo - Germany - 1960 - Sublime backlit glass globe resting on a magnificent solid brass tripod base. Exceptional craftsmanship for this exceptional piece. By far the most beautiful Space Age globe I've ever seen! Great as a table or mood lamp in a living room, as a bedside lamp or as a nightlight in a bedroom. The globe rotates on its North/South axis, but has the singularity of swiveling 360° on its East/West axis, thanks to the flat ball-and-socket joint of the brass structure. Excellent condition. Note a very slight lack of paint on the Greenland (photo). The glass and brass are impeccable. Very rare item for sale, only one other to my knowledge at the modest price of €950 plus €120 shipping! - Description: Globe - Mappemonde - Planisphère - Materials: Glass - Brass - Brand: Columbia Duo - Production: 1960-1969 - Origin: Germany - Condition: Very good - Dimensions: H 41 cm - Globe ∅ 33cm
