19th Century Earth Globe

Terrestrial globe late 19th century - early 20th century drawn by Charles Périgot. The globe is made of cardboard covered with a lithograph, it pivots on a steel axis and held at the top by a screwed brass ball. The whole is fixed on a turned and blackened wooden foot in good condition. Some wear to the paper, take a good look at the details photos. Good stability. Base diameter: 15 cm No restoration.
