Replogle Floor Globe on Turned Walnut Pedestal Stand, c. 1960s–70s
Description
The World at Your Feet — A Cold War-Era Replogle Classic
There's something undeniably romantic about a floor globe. This one, made by Replogle Globes, Inc. of Chicago — America's most celebrated globe maker — captures the world as it was during one of history's most fascinating eras. The Soviet Union still stretches across the northern hemisphere. The borders are crisp, the colors vivid, and the craftsmanship is unmistakably mid-century American.
Set it in a study, a library corner, or beside a leather chair, and watch it become the most talked-about object in the room.
