{"product_id":"large-globe-made-of-hardstone-and-mother-of-pearl-1970s","title":"Large Globe Made of Hardstone and Mother-of-pearl, 1970s","description":"In the 1970s, several Asian workshops developed geographical globes made of hard stones and mother-of-pearl, combining decorative cartography and artisanal craftsmanship. This large-scale model, made and then acquired in Japan, perfectly illustrates this tradition where each continent is inlaid with carefully polished natural materials.\n\nThe structure rests on a base of crafted metal, designed to support the sphere and allow its rotation. The manufacturer is not identified, as is often the case for these small-batch productions made in specialized workshops.\n\nThe condition is very good, with a light patina on the metal and a superb luster to the mother-of-pearl. The piece measures 50 cm high and 40 cm wide, making it a striking size for a contemporary interior or a collection dedicated to geographical objects.\n\nAs much a decorative piece as a testament to artisanal know-how, this globe naturally finds its place on a desk, a console or in a library, where it brings a graphic and elegant presence.","brand":"Treaptyque","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56668369715465,"sku":null,"price":3496.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/5290\/4457\/files\/oi616o7v7tdb4ytsxumw.jpg?v=1765184673","url":"https:\/\/oblist.com\/products\/large-globe-made-of-hardstone-and-mother-of-pearl-1970s","provider":"The Oblist","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
