| The Obelisk floor globe is inspired by one of Frank Lloyd Wright designs. The cherry and maple combination is a striking adaptation of one of Mr. Wright’s vase designs. This one was one of several concepts that he developed in 1929 for Leerdam Fabrique in Germany. The globe was originally to be produced in high quality glass but was never manufactured due to its complexity. The 16" globe is supported by a full swing metal meridian. Features a fully up to date political map with a n antique color ocean. Its impressive 37-inch height and the clean simple lines of the hardwood base provide an attractive backdrop for its 16-inch diameter ball. - Globe Diameter: 16" (40 cm)
