The globe stand for this superb floor model is an authentic reproduction from a drawing found in the Frank Lloyd Wright archives. It is an unidentified concept for one of the Prairie Homes that Mr. Wright designed in the early 1900's. The only marking on the drawing is in his handwriting and says, "Something like this." The proportions and interpretations of the drawing were calculated based on the scale of other drawings from this time period.
The striking, pedestal base, comprised of beautiful, walnut-finish hardwood and brass accents, supports the gimbaled-mounted, 360 degree, brass-plated meridian. The calibrated, die-cast meridian encircles the richly-detailed, 16" diameter, raised-relief sphere which features antique cartouches, compass roses and early explorers navigating parchment-colored seas.
With the magnificent, 39" tall Wright Globe, Replogle has clearly demonstrated what a splendid product the masters of globe making can produce when inspired by the master of architectural design.
