Rare table globe made by A. Minelli for the illustrious Antonio Vallardi publishing house, dating back to the 1930s.
It is an object of extraordinary historical and decorative value, an expression of the Italian cartographic excellence of the period.
The globe, made of paper mounted on a wooden sphere, features an original amber patina that testifies to the passage of time and enhances its vintage charm.
The geographical inscriptions are in Italian, with detailed indications of states, cities, seas, and maritime routes from the pre-war era.
The shaped wooden base in a rationalist style is solid and understated, perfectly in keeping with the Art Deco taste of the 1930s.
The entire piece is in excellent condition, with signs of wear consistent with its age, but no significant losses.
