TheWall Street Journal featured our W. & A.K. Johnston/ Kittinger 30-inch Floor Globe in the article “The Gentleman Cave: How to Create a Tastefully Macho Room.” (Photo and text from the article shown above.) This huge globe — on a bold, impressively carved stand — makes a major statement in a library, entrance hall, or executive office. The one in the article was quickly put on hold, but we have another impressive 30-inch globe from the same period, discounted through 7/15/18 to $27,500 (pictures and description available upon request).

It sits on a traditional cast iron cabriole leg stand, appropriate for desk or shelf display. On sale through 4/15/17.

This globe was made in Belgium between 1908 and 1914. The Upper Midwest of the United States, where tribes today are protesting the building of a pipeline in North Dakota, is labeled “Sioux Indiens.” Another unusual, probably unique, feature of this globe is the inclusion of five illustrations representing different races by a portrait head and a caption noting where each is indigenous. https://www.georgeglazer.com/globes/table/windels.html
