Replogle single mount terrestrial
and celestial globe pair c 1973
This particular pair with a classic
Eames “faux teak / wood-grain” base is a classic
representation of the early 1970’s. The political borders
on the terrestrial globe highlight the Cold War Era with showing
a divided Germany as well as the USSR.
The celestial orb in a beautiful bold blue and gold coloring
identifies constellations, the Milky Way and much more. A
fine compliment to the terrestrial version!
Both spheres are hollow metal and
lithographed. Half meridians without detail and finished in
a matt gold. The base is heavy and made of wood, finished
with a faux wood-grain laminate on top. Each globe has a diameter
of 6”, total height is 8.75”. The length of the
base is 12”; total length is about 15”.
Overall in superb condition with
the exception of a slight mark and some yellowing to the terrestrial
orb.
The age of the globe has been identified
by the political borders displayed: Sri Lanka also shown as
Ceylon (change 1972).
