Bidding ended. Lot has been sold.

This lot is in good country house condition.

The globe will need to be secured within the cradle as there are two missing pins where it would have been affixed securely to prevent the 'wobble'/movement

There is heavy dark staining throughout with bubbles. We are uncertain what has caused this. This may be old varnish.

There are chips to extremities especially the feet.

There are small tears to the globes surface but this does not detract from the aesthetics.

There is a dent to the bottom of the globe
