French Globe Replica
The Authentic Models Versailles Globe is based on a simple yet utterly scintillating original French globe and globe stand. A new addition to an already extensive collection, less grandiose than some, this globe is attractive on a small desk or sideboard Its bookshelf format is oriented to be easy on the eyes. Admire the matching age wood texture and feel and the polished sheen of bronze and brass.
French Finish
This globe is made from solid brass and the rosewood base has been French finished. The French finish involves at least five coats of varnish being applied, with sanding in between. The idea is to create a rich coat that, together with applications of subtle patinas and mixed waxes, results in an aged and antiqued look.
