World Globe by Alexander Kalifano: circa 1980-1990. The globe is made of mother of pearl, it is a heavy and well made piece, absolutely stunning. Each country is inlaid with different gemstones that are indigenous to that particular region. You will find the lapis, tiger eye, amethyst, turquoise, and lazuli among others. The main area of the globe, meaning the bodies of water on our earth are made of mother of pearl. Latitude and Lines are in gold.
Each country is part of the mosaic (fitted almost perfectly) that makes up the entire world - and most are labeled.
The revolving base, works both ways, as does the globe. The brass toned metal has a matte finish. There are four faces at the base of the globe, 3 clocks and a Thermometer. The four instruments are untested. The second hand on the clock is not moving. It may need a battery.
Measurements: approx. 11" high and 8" wide at base

**This clock has all the necessary pieces and is beautiful just as it is. Some people prefer them with the patina and the age, However, if you would like the batteries replaced and the brass refinished. I can do all that but will take more time before getting to you. The batteries are not a problem, but taking this from a matt finish to lacquered finish will take a little finesse. Let me know if you to keep it with the patina or refinished (I have the tools, but am Leary assuming everyone wants it shiny).
