Vintage 1940 globe terrestrial glass Duo Erdglobus Berlin - 42 cm

Immense old world map lamp German Duo Erdglobus made of glass, paper, wood, and chrome metal circa 1940 in good condition. This magnificent large piece weighs nearly 3.5 kg and is written in German, Duo for political and geographical (the names of the countries of the time can be found, and the reliefs are visible). It is not dated; however, one can read the former French colonies in North Africa as well as the Indian Union (1947-1950), which will become India in 1950, so it is certainly a globe made in the late 1940s. Regarding its condition, the wooden and chrome base as well as the arch are impeccable. The paper map is absolutely beautiful, displaying a few discreet missing pieces here and there (South America or towards Mongolia), and light slightly escapes from the paper interstices. The colors are very vivid, and the color nuances that appear when illuminated make it a sumptuous decorative object. It measures 42 cm in height, the globe diameter is 33 cm, and the depth is 35 cm.

By adopting this vintage object, you give a second life to a treasure from the past — thank you for making sustainable decoration rhyme with history and action for the planet.
