No library, private study, or sophisticated office space should be without an antique globe! The Colony 5-in. Diam. Desk Globe has everything you could want. The distressed design features a beautifully sculpted base made from iron in a dark finish that contrasts the faded map paper perfectly, so the topography of the Earth is the main attraction. The spinning globe is crafted from durable engineered wood and plastic, wrapped in paper that's printed with a detailed drawing of our planet's every unique feature. Longitude and latitude lines are prominent, countries and bodies of water are labeled, and an ornate, clearly visible legend is included as well.
A note about wood composite or engineered wood: Often referred to as MDF, which stands for medium-density fiberboard, this type of wood composite is made of compressed wood fibers and has several benefits, including affordability, consistency, and resistance to warping or rotting over time.
