Antique oval bridal globe 39 x 26.5 x 14 cm black foot

Antique oval hand-blown glass dome with its original black wooden base. It was probably offered as a "wedding globe", therefore as a bridal gift for the newlyweds. There is a groove in the base to place the glass dome. The dome is handmade at the time, so the glass is not "as perfect" as it can be made today. In the 19th century, specifically in the victorian era, they made it with other types of materials that were not so pure. This is reflected in unique details like light bulbs, minor imperfections in the glass that give the dome more character and style. We ourselves purchase all the domes in europe, mainly in france. When the domes come in, we start by washing them, then we place the foot against the woodworms and check the stability of the foot. So that the foot does not wobble on your surface. The dimensions are taken from the inside of the glass, therefore from the usable space. Dimensions: 15.35 inches or 39 cm high 10.43 inches or 26.5 cm wide 5.51 inches or 14 cm deep so you can decorate your collectibles without dust.
