Vintage Replogle “World Classic Series” 9-inch raised relief terrestrial globe featuring an ornate cast metal tripod base with lion heads and paw feet. This is an especially striking decorative example with a dramatic old world library / dark academia aesthetic. The parchment-toned cartography, textured raised relief mountain ranges, blackened metal meridian band, and gothic-inspired lion base give the piece a bold, moody presence that displays beautifully in offices, libraries, studies, bookshelves, or curated vintage interiors.
Measures approximately 16” tall overall with a 9” globe diameter. The globe rotates smoothly and is in overall very good vintage condition. The cast metal base shows age-appropriate cosmetic wear including some dust in crevices and small areas of finish wear where silvery metal is visible beneath the darker finish. The metal meridian arm shows some light patina/rust-like discoloration consistent with age. The globe itself remains very attractive with minor scuffs/spots from age and use, along with slight lifting visible at a couple seam areas, which is common in vintage globes. Please review all photos carefully for full condition details.
I have done my best to accurately research and describe this piece based on visible characteristics and comparable examples, but I am not a globe expert. Buyers are encouraged to review all photos carefully and ask any questions prior to purchase.
