A highly decorative and unusual pair of globe bookends by Authentic Models, the Dutch interiors brand renowned for its elegant, historically inspired pieces.
This striking pair features two contrasting globes — one terrestrial and the other celestial, illustrated with classical constellations — giving a wonderfully scholarly and collected look. Raised on shaped wooden bases with ebonised moulded edges and antiqued metal mounts, they are designed in the style of traditional library furnishings.
The bases display a deliberately distressed finish with simulated ‘worming’, characteristic of Authentic Models’ craftsmanship, intended to evoke the patina and charm of antique pieces.
An excellent decorative addition to a desk, bookshelf or study, particularly suited to classic, country house or Ralph Lauren–style interiors.
Condition:
Very good decorative condition overall. Light surface marks consistent with use, along with intentional distressing to the bases as described.
Measurements (each):
Height: 25 cm
Width (including book support lip): 24.5 cm
