Description
Globe in bronze and semi-precious stones, Contemporary Decorative School, 20th century Lapis lazuli and gilded metal. Dimensions: 36 x 35 x 35 cm. An ornamental globe comprising a sphere covered in deep blue lapis lazuli, enhanced by polychrome cartography and a support structure in bright gold-finished metal. The piece combines decorative functionality with material refinement through an elegant, curved mount supported by stylised, classically inspired legs. The rich colour of the lapis lazuli contrasts with the gilded outlines of the axis and meridian, creating a highly sophisticated visual effect with a sculptural presence. The cartographic surface incorporates geographical names and continental boundaries, carefully integrated into the overall design, whilst the shine of the polished metal adds luminous dynamism and a sense of luxury. The work draws on the tradition of scientific and decorative objects reinterpreted in a contemporary style, where the nobility of the materials and the ornamental finish transform the piece into an object of remarkable aesthetic and symbolic value, associated with geographical knowledge and decorative collecting.
