Barrel Floor World Globe

This unusual 16″ floor standing world globe features an open faced Bronze Metallic map. Full-swing die cast meridian ring supports the globe and allows the viewer an easy access to all place names on this 16″ diameter fully up-to-date globe. The floor oak stand is a modified version of the famous Barrel Chair originally designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1903 and modified for his personal use at Taliesin in Spring Green, Wisconsin as well as for Herbert F. Johnson for his home Wingspread in Racine, Wisconsin in 1937. Full-swing antique style brass-plated die-cast meridian (ring supporting the globe) allows the ball to be turned 360 degrees for convenient view of all points of interest from any possible angle. The globe revolves within the meridian (East/West), and the meridian swings within the stand (North/South).
