Beautiful c. 1900 French "Globe Terrestre" acquired in France. These old globes are quite collectible and this one is a beauty. It measures 9-1/2" tall, 15-1/2" in circumference and approx. 5" wide. It has a lovely all wooden base that is black. The smaller the globe, the more desirable.
There is a small dent toward the top as noted in the photos. This does not detract from its beauty. Most of the antique French globes found have some damage and the French don't seem mind small flaws. Nice tan color. Entirely written in French. Manufactured by Maison Forest. Quite a rare and beautiful piece.
