Replogle Garrison 16" Diameter Antique Floor Globe

The bold National Geographic Garrison Floor Globe is a cartographical marvel. The 16 inch sphere is supported by a sturdy walnut-finish hardwood base. Together, the entire model stands 36 inches tall. A horizontal 360 degree hardwood circle cradles the globe and is propped up by four curved legs. A full die-cast meridian is gimbal-mounted to the frame, meaning that the globe can be swiveled up and down for closer investigation. The meridian also features latitudinal calibrations, adding to the abundance of geographical information contained in the Garrison. The floor globe features an antique-style ocean. The light, off white color of the oceans display a fine, gold script labelling the maritime information. The continents themselves are multihued, with a patchwork of colors signifying the world's current political boundaries. The beautiful National Geographic Garrison Floor Globe is given a three dimensional texture by its raised relief. That means that the planet's topographical information emerges slightly from the globe, recreating the planet's colossal mountain ranges. The world globe is a prime example of National Geographic's stellar collaboration with Replogle. This distinguished world globe will attract curious examination and admiration from wherever it stands in your home, study, library or office. Give any room a dash of classic style and charismatic flair with the National Geographic Garrison Floor Globe.
