This fascinating ancient mappamondo from the ground is a refined example of vintage craftsmanship, probably dating back to the eighteenth or nineteenth centuries. The sphere, characterized by ocher shades and hand -painted graphic signs, represents a celestial globe rather than a geographical map: the zodiac constellations and mythological figures are visible in stylized and lively traits.
The globe is set in an elegant wooden structure, consisting of four turned columns that support a horizontal ring, which acts as an equatorial meridian. The base has a finely worked platform, also in dark wood, which contributes to the stability and aesthetics of the object.
The subject of great decorative and historical value, this world champion from the ground is perfect for collectors, scholars or antiques lovers, evoking an era in which art and science merged with exploratory elegance and curiosity.
Excellent conditions, it has a scraper engraved on the basis but which does not compromise the beauty of the article.
