Description :

Spectacular large-scale wooden globe that is actually a hidden bar! We are guessing it is from the 1940s/1950s and has incredible detail. This bar is actually much larger than most antique or modern globe bars you will find in the marketplace. 

The exterior consists of the globe itself with a vertical ring showing the latitudes. Barley twist legs provide support for the horizontal equatorial band with the 12 astrological signs.  Much of the labeling is in Latin and it is obviously inspired by an antique map. Globe spins on axis & has top brass finial at the North Pole. The lower shelf between the legs forms a circular compass with fleur-de-lis and more Latin. Colors are very bright on the lower shelf and a little more subdued on the upper globe section. Top half of the globe lifts up with the vertical longitudinal ring and the interior of the half-sphere is also finely decorated with gods such as Poseidon. The bar section itself has three small kidney-shaped inserts for less large bottles, an insert for an ice bucket which comes with the bar, and a deeper central insert for liquor bottles. Below the central insert appears to be a very chunky Bacchus figure. At the horizontal equatorial band there are the 12 zodiac symbols & lots of star info. Bar measures approximately 34" in diameter while the height on the piece is approximately 46". 

In good antique condition with some flaws as expected for its age - see last 3 photos.
