History lovers will appreciate this award-winning decorative globe featuring a stunning vintage map of America from 1790. The globe displays crisp white and green colors, merging a classic design with modern technology, making it a truly unique piece. With clear depictions of continents and oceans, it features the historic voyages of Captain James Cook, a design element initially created by Giovanni Maria Cassini.
This vintage map showcases a young United States, often absent from many historical maps. Its smooth, independent rotation brings history into your home or office with every turn.
How it works: Each globe utilizes vibrant artwork alongside patented technology for a seamless rotation without the need for batteries or messy cords. Hidden solar cells harness ambient natural or artificial light, while the earth’s magnetic field ensures smooth movement. The result is a whisper-quiet mechanism that allows the globe to rotate effortlessly within its clear outer shell, appearing as a single, unified piece.
