The Berlin Illuminated Floor Globe by Columbus Globes is an exquisite piece of artistry and craftsmanship. Its 20 inch glass globe is held aloft by a full brass meridian with latitudinal degree markings, while a walnut three-legged stand with a horizontal cradle supports the gimbal mounted meridian. The mother of pearl inlay indicates north, south, east and west, as well as the months of the year. The exquisite design and cartographic display make the Berlin Illuminated Floor Globe an essential addition for the customer with an eye for quality and beauty.
The classically-inspired base of the DUO map stands in contrast to its technologically contemporary design. This signature feature of Columbus' designs houses two maps in one. With the light off, a political map is illustrated, with the blue ocean set against the pale pastel hues that dominate the landmasses, separated by the country borders. Upon flipping the switch, the room is filled with Berlin's warm, colorful rays, and physical map details are revealed on the world globes.
The exquisite Columbus Berlin Illuminated Floor Globe 20 Inch is a testament to the over 100 years of globe making that Columbus has under its belt. Hand blown by the skilled craftspeople of Columbus, this 20 inch glass globe is a result of a difficult process that requires years of experience to master. Afterwards, each gore of the map is hand-cut and applied to the world globe piece by piece. Boasting a modern classic design that recalls the ornate globes of yesteryear, its walnut cradle, DUO map, and illuminated globe make it an unforgettable floor globe.
