large standing globe bar

“globe bars” are replicas of originals from the 17th century, when rich gentlemen liked to discuss the world – and perhaps their next voyage of discovery – over a glass or two of something special. now difficult to find (and very unusual), they are beautiful centrepieces that will always be a talking point, whether being used to serve drinks or not. the maps, with their delightful illustrations of sea monsters, landmarks and foreign peoples, are fascinating and reveal a great deal about the thinking of the time. this larhe free standing globe bar holds 4 bottles and 12 glasses inside  with more bottle storage between the elegant turned hardwood legs. made in italy.
