Frank Lloyd Wright (1867–1959) is widely considered to be America’s greatest architect. He amazed the world with his architectural ingenuity and designs. His vision encompassed the buildings and residences he designed as well as their landscaping, art glass, furniture, lighting and floor covering – to create a unified whole. An adaptation of one of Wright’s vase designs developed in 1929 for Leerdam Glassfabrik in Germany. The Obelisk stand is made of solid maple and cherry hardwood.

In 1928, Frank Lloyd Wright began creating drawings for the San Marcos in the Desert Hotel that was to be located in Chandler, AZ. The project was never completed due to the 1929 stock market crash, but the building design and the interior renderings contain a variety of interesting furniture and decorative features. The composition of this globe stand is adapted from the 60 degree angled legs and the hexagonal top of a small accent table designed for the Dining Pavilion which was to be bordered by garden terraces of the San Marcos in the Desert Hotel.

Since ancient times, the column has stood as a functional and decorative standard. Designer Tom Torrens has fashioned an all-metal globe base reminiscent of that form, yet crafted to reflect modern design. History, architecture, and culture come together in a unique way with this 16″ antique-ocean globe.

Zeus persuades Atlas, a Titan, to repent for his sins against the gods by supporting the world on his shoulders. This detailed Bronze Metallic resin replica illustrates the strength and grace with which Atlas accepts his challenge. 

This useful combination offers the “best of both worlds”, and it makes the Premier a complete geographical reference suite. The stand is home for a hardbound atlas (included), and the globe itself rests in a calibrated antique brass meridian. The cherry finished base enhances the Premier’s rich appearance. Atlas may vary in brand and color.

Imagination takes flight with our Freedom globe. This 12” antique-ocean globe with numbered meridian features a magnificently detailed resin eagle with bronze finish and gold accents atop a walnut-finished hardwood base. This globe is a majestic symbol and work of art for any room.
