Vintage Illuminated Floor Globe on Carved Wood Pedestal Stand with Brass Feet - A vintage floor-standing illuminated world globe mounted on a traditional-style wood pedestal stand. The globe features an antiqued parchment-style political map with color-coded landmasses and various geographic markers, including trade routes and ocean currents. The sphere is mounted within a bronze-toned metal meridian with degree markings, which rests inside a wide wooden horizon ring. The wooden stand features a fluted and turned central pedestal supported by a tripod base with three cabriole legs, each ending in a brass-toned metal paw foot. A decorative cartouche is visible on the globe surface in the South Pacific region, though the printed text is not clearly legible. Geopolitical indicators such as Guyana (U.K.) and Belize (U.K.) suggest a production period between the late 1960s and early 1980s. The globe is wired for internal illumination and includes a power cord with an inline switch. Visually similar examples are often associated with makers such as Replogle or the Bombay Company.
