The Continental designer world globe is from the Tom Torrens' signature design series.

In 1998 Tom Torrens' licensed several globe designs to our premium manufacturer, Replogle Globes, and as a consultant designer, he plays an active role in the handmade techniques of these designs.

"I focus on developing uniquely classic-contemporary designs to fit many interior styles. Each of my creations are reminiscent of many proven design themes. I find inspiration in the ancient forms of Asian art, the style of Frank Lloyd Wright's work, and the sculpture of Alexander Calder." Tom Torrens

Simple elegance elicits memories of art nouveau. The gently sloping, warm-coloured iron sculptured stand, evocative of the Eiffel Tower, displays Replogles classic raised-relief world globe with antique coloured oceans.

The political globe ball has over 4,000 place names, and each country is defined by subtle colours. Famous explorers have been comemorated with pictures of their ships and dates of their voyages.

This globe is truly continental, being at home in any interior.

Some assembly required.
