Know before you buy
The globe features a 12-inch diameter, and the triangular metal base is designed to provide a stable, compact footprint suitable for most standard desks or side tables.
The globe is fixed within the hexagonal support to maintain the integrity of its geometric design and architectural aesthetic.
To preserve the finish, dust the wood and metal components periodically with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive materials that could damage the handcrafted surface.
The globe features an antique-style map that prioritizes aesthetic appeal and historical design over modern navigational precision. It is intended primarily as a decorative piece of functional art.
Each globe is individually assembled by artisans after your order is placed. Because of this process, there may be slight variations in the finish, ensuring that your specific piece is unique.
