The Vienna Illuminated Desktop Globe by Columbus Globes is a stunning piece of cartography, featuring a beautiful ROYAL map with an antique-ocean political map that is enhanced by the multi-hued patchwork of continents. The map is filled with place names, shipping lanes, water currents, and other cartographic details, which become even more striking when illuminated. The acrylic sphere's warm colors fill the room when the light is on.

Each Vienna globe's map is meticulously hand-cut and applied to the acrylic sphere by skilled artisans. Columbus, which has been in the business for over a century, has perfected the art of hand-making globes, and remains one of the few manufacturers that still rely on trained craftspeople to create these stunning illuminated world globes. The 16-inch Vienna model is a superb example of classic style and exquisite craftsmanship. It is perfect for any home or office and will never go out of style.
