Girard Barrere globe, Paris
(One unit available)
Details
Antique glass terrestrial globe with light, featuring classic cartography in soft tones and a delicate patina that reflects the passage of time.
It bears original inscriptions in French and the maker’s stamp Girard, Barrère et Thomas – Paris, a detail that adds historical value and authenticity to the piece. The cartography shows maritime routes, ocean currents and geographical references typical of mid-20th century school and office globes. It is a map that reflects the world just after the Second world War, before the massive process of decolonization in Africa began.
It rests on a turned metal base with sober, balanced lines that enhance its presence and turn it into a decorative object with strong visual impact.
A piece with soul, ideal for offices, libraries, shelves, display cabinets or interiors in vintage, classic or eclectic styles, where objects with history bring character and depth to the space.
The marks of time, light wear and small imperfections are part of its original charm and attest to its authenticity.
