Handcrafted Semi-precious Stone Globe on Stand

This is an incredibly detailed and luxurious handcrafted gemstone globe. The use of black onyx, alongside more than 30 other semi-precious stones, makes this piece a true work of art. The craftsmanship involved in pulverizing and setting the onyx for the oceans, the intricate inlaying of different stones for each country, and the addition of features like the ornate silver tripod stand and integral compass all contribute to its uniqueness and elegance.

This globe seems like not just a functional item but a magnificent artistic centerpiece, blending meticulous artisanal work with a wide array of natural materials. The attention to detail, from embedding brass ribbons for longitude and latitude lines to polishing each stone to perfection, speaks to the high level of craftsmanship and effort invested in its creation. With 1,000 hours of labor required to complete just one, it’s no wonder this piece stands out as a luxurious and striking example of decorative artistry.

It would certainly be an impressive addition to any collection!

Dimensions: 21"H x 19" W (the globe itself is 13" in diameter)
