For sale is an illuminated “Replogle” 16” library globe, set in a solid walnut wood Duncan Phyfe stand with brass capped feet. In working condition. Illuminated floor globes became popular household and educational items in the mid-20th century, combining decorative appeal with geographic reference. These globes typically featured internal lighting that highlighted geographic details and created ambient lighting, making them both functional and ornamental. Manufacturers like “Replogle” dominated the North American market during this period, producing globes in various sizes and styles to suit different interiors. The wooden stand design was particularly favoured for its stability and classic aesthetic that complemented mid-century modern and traditional decor.

Illuminated globes appeal to collectors of vintage home decor, cartography enthusiasts, educators, and interior designers seeking statement pieces with both historical and aesthetic value. These items are particularly prized by mid-century modern collectors and those interested in the history of cartography and geographic education. The warm glow of the illuminated globe creates an inviting atmosphere while serving as a conversation piece that reflects an era when geographic knowledge was celebrated in the home. Well-preserved examples with working illumination and intact cartographic details command premium prices in the vintage decor market.

Approximate measurements: Globe measures 16” in diameter, with a height of 39.5”. Presented in very good overall condition (with wear consistent with age and use). Complimented with brass accents. A lovely warm patina throughout this often hard to find standing globe.
