Desktop Globe COLUMBUS DUO Regent Ø 34 cm with Crystal Glass Sphere

Illuminated globe made of crystal glass Ø 34 cm, mouth-blown, hand-coated, stainless steel mounting.

The manufacturing of these models from mouth-blown crystal glass spheres is characterized by great craftsmanship. They are masterpieces of the traditional globe production and during their fabrication, nothing is left to chance. With a unique globe in mind, the artists work manually and with the highest precision. Here, the production speed is of lesser importance - after all, the goal is to create a true masterpiece. The production of a mouth-blown sphere is a real challenge, which only a few artists around the world rise to. Therefore, it can take several days until, with much skill and passion, the materials are combined into a cartographical and optical masterpiece.

Since its introduction over 70 years ago, the DUO symbolizes the two-in-one principle: Non-illuminated, the map shows different countries, illuminated, the complex print additionally reveals the physical image - with detailed topography and seemingly three-dimensional elevations. A complex 120 halftone printing process ensures that even the smallest writings are crystal clear and sharply depicted, down to details like railway and shipping routes and even cold and warm ocean currents. The result: Excellent readability and color fidelity.

The classic and elegant, yet puristic sparkling mounting obtains its dimly glimmering shine through a special stainless steel finish. This product of great manual skill transforms your globe into an expression of a particular quality of life, which will continue to bring you joy for decades.
