The graceful style of this 16" antique-ocean globe, held in a gyro-matic meridian, is complemented by the classic design of its rich walnut-finished hardwood stand. The gyro-matic mounting lets the ball be tilted and turned freely, bringing any part of the world into close and unobstructed view rather than fixing it at one angle. A traditional floor globe that reads as furniture as much as reference, with French-language cartography throughout.
