Columbus Duo Glass Globe with Walnut Forkstand

This incredible piece features a mouth-blown crystal globe ball that sits in a precision-calibrated brass full-meridian. The fork stand constructed from beautiful solid walnut hardwood is an eloquent work of art.With this globe's dual-image technology you can view political borders in contrasting colors when the globe is turned off and physical features when turned on. As with all globes in the Columbus Professional Line the crystal sphere is covered with stunning exclusive hand-applied cartography. The crystal globe ball ensures optimal luminosity of the map chart. This is a most-impressive globe from the Columbus Professional Line that will bring immeasurable distinction to any home or office setting.Columbus Globes' Commitment to Conservation.As innovators and leaders in the globe-making industry Columbus Globes is a company that is also focused on conservation of the planet we all share. Due to their commitment to the environment Columbus carefully chooses materials not only for their high quality but also for their ecological impact. Woods used on the floor globes come from renewable sources and are finished with special formaldehyde-free lacquers. The plastics used are the highest quality 100% recyclable ABS materials. Cardboard materials used in packaging are also 100% recyclable.Columbus has also preserved a manufacturing process that would have otherwise gone extinct in the world of automated production. Their exclusive mouth-blown crystal spheres with hand-laminated cartography are among the finest examples of globe-making available anywhere. The raised-relief mountains on these globes are individually added as bits of hand-formed clay and adhered to the sphere before the map is layered on – a skill that takes a steady and very experienced hand. Again an effect that would simply be impossible using automated methods.Columbus Globes is the world’s oldest continuously running globe manufacturer. For nearly a century the Oestergaard family has continuously innovated and revolutionized the globe industry. The experience accumulated over 4 generations of globe-making has earned the Columbus brand the status of the world’s premier globe manufacturer.Popular features such as internal illumination dual-mapping and the invention of the acrylic globe spheres were all innovations by Columbus Globes and the Oestergaard family and are all common features across many of today’s globe manufacturers. Today Columbus Globes' slogan “Experience the World” is an exemplary phrase to describe the feeling one gets when in the presence one of their outstanding products.
