Introducing the Kiel Illuminated Crystal Desktop Globe by Columbus Globes - a true masterpiece of design and craftsmanship. This 16 inch world globe is hand-blown from the finest crystal glass, giving it a stunning and elegant appearance. The globe sits on a brushed stainless steel base that raises it to a height of 20 inches, allowing you to admire the intricate details of the world map. The tubular half-meridian frames the blue ocean on the globe, adding a touch of sophistication to the overall design.
Featuring the DUO map, a signature feature of Columbus globes, it offers a unique experience. When the globe is not illuminated, the political map is displayed, but with the flip of a switch, physical details such as water currents and topography are revealed. The illumination feature adds a touch of warmth to any room with its brilliant colors.
The Columbus Kiel Illuminated Glass Desktop Globe 16 Inch is a handmade work of art, crafted with German precision and design. As the only manufacturer that still hand blows glass globes, Columbus ensures that the globe's illumination and geographic detail are of the highest quality. The Kiel's DUO map is also hand cut and applied, making this globe a unique and beautiful decorative accent for any home or office. Display it on a desk, bookshelf, or coffee table and enjoy its design and cartographic merits for a lifetime.
