This charming antique floor globe is a fine example of vintage craftsmanship, probably dating back to the 18th or 19th century. The sphere, characterised by ochre tones and hand-painted graphic signs, represents a celestial globe rather than a geographical map: the zodiac constellations and mythological figures are visible in stylised and lively strokes.
The globe is set in an elegant wooden structure, composed of four turned columns that support a horizontal ring, which acts as an equatorial meridian. The base features a finely worked platform, also in dark wood, which contributes to the stability and aesthetics of the object.
An object of great decorative and historical value, this floor globe is perfect for collectors, scholars or lovers of antiques, evoking an era in which art and science merged with elegance and exploratory curiosity.
Excellent condition, it has an engraved scraper on the base but which does not compromise the beauty of the article.
