Replogle Saratoga Floor Globe - 12 Inch

The Replogle Saratoga Floor Globe is a one of the most popular globes in the American manufacturer's venerable line. Standing 35.5 inches tall, the stylish cherry-finish hardwood stand showcases the 12 inch sphere. Three narrow legs support a 360 degree horizontal hardwood ring, which cradles the globe. A full, circular brass-plated meridian surrounds the globe, displaying latitudinal markings. The Saratoga features Replogle's "Classic Series" map. The completely modern geography is given a vintage spin by the antique map flourishes. The parchment-colored oceans are accented by a patchwork of soft pastel hues coming from the landmasses' countries. The globe does include contemporary political divisions despite its throwback aesthetic.

The otherwise smooth surface of the globe is broken up by its raised relief. The earth's vast mountain ranges are recreated three dimensionally on the globe. Running a hand along the exterior of the floor globe gives ones an impression of the planet's rugged topography. The slim frame of the Replogle Saratoga Floor Globe gives it a light feeling, even though its hardwood base is quite sturdy. The tasteful colors of the political map are displayed humbly by the minimally ornamented frame. This Replogle globe is a beautiful and enthralling addition to the home, office or school, ripe with decorative merit and educational wonder.
