About
Decorate an office with this spectacular antique “Globe Terrestre”. Crafted in France, circa 1910, the elegant piece sits on a gilt painted cast iron tripod base decorated with paw feet and lion head figures. The stem holds the 12″ swivel globe which is signed A. Jeande. Displaying the world as it was around the turn of the 20th century, this globe was created by the French cartographer R. Bardot. This globe is marked A. Jeande, Editeurs, 16 rue Cassete, Paris. Constantinople was still the capital of Turkey and Persia is the name for Iran (the city changed its name to Istanbul in 1930, and Iran was named after 1935). The terrestrial globe is in very good condition commensurate with age and use with wonderful patinated colors. A beautiful piece of world history that is sure to inspire any traveler. Measures: 12″ diameter 21″ height.
