Globes have to be one of our favourites things here at Absolutely Nice HQ. Their colours, functionality and craftsmanship tick all the right boxes. If you search for 'Globe Making (1955)' in YouTube there are a couple of amazing videos by British Pathé well worthy of a watch.
Before a time when you could just type in a location on a computer and see every nook and cranny at street level, you had to rely on your trusty globe to see where Burkina Faso or Azerbaijan were.
This gorgeous light up Belgian glass globe by Paul Oestergaard is definitely one of the best we've had in stock, and once lit emanates a beautiful warm, soft light.
In general good condition with wear commensurate with age and use, including some marks, stains and small tears to the paper as photographed. Fully rewired with three core twisted cream nylon flex, a new chrome lamp holder, switch and 3 pin UK plug.
Measures approximately 33cm tall and 27cm wide. We recommend using a 15W bulb so to not overheat the lamp.
All of our prices include VAT, please get it touch if you require a VAT receipt.
