A 12 inch diameter World Classic Series globe mounted on a turned wood base, this piece presents with that traditional academic styling that feels at home in a study, office, or library setting. The cartography is credited to LeRoy M. Tolman and clearly marked Made in U.S.A., grounding it in a specific era of American globe production. Oceans are rendered in a muted, parchment-toned finish rather than bright classroom blue, giving the sphere a more restrained and mature visual character. Political boundaries and country names are clearly legible, with subtle coloration separating regions without overwhelming the eye. The meridian arm features degree markings and a warm brown tone that complements the base. Its scale offers presence without dominating a desk or bookshelf. The typography carries a classic serif style consistent with traditional reference globes. Decorative cartouche labeling adds formality without drifting into ornate excess. Overall, it reads as purposeful and academic rather than decorative novelty.

This is not a toy classroom globe with plastic flash and fluorescent oceans. It carries that grounded, slightly formal energy that fits into a curated space instead of a dorm room corner. The parchment-style ocean tone softens the entire piece and avoids the harsh glare common in modern budget globes. The wood base gives it weight visually and physically, anchoring the sphere in a way lightweight plastic stands never manage. The meridian ring frames the globe cleanly and adds architectural structure. There’s an understated authority in the design that makes it feel like a reference object rather than shelf filler. It doesn’t shout for attention; it simply sits there with quiet competence. For collectors of cartographic decor, traditional office styling, or academic-themed interiors, it checks the right boxes. It feels intentional, not trendy. A globe that looks like it belongs in a room with books.

In display, the 12 inch diameter provides enough surface area for clear reading of regions while remaining manageable for standard desks or cabinets. The globe rotates smoothly within the meridian, allowing practical reference use as well as decorative placement. The wood base presents with a warm finish that complements the neutral tones of the sphere without clashing against darker furniture. Light surface wear and minor age-related marks are visible across the globe’s finish, consistent with pre-owned condition and shown in photos. The cartouche and printed markings remain legible and intact. There are no obvious structural breaks in the meridian or base from what is visible. It maintains solid presentation stability when set on a flat surface. Review photos carefully for exact surface condition and areas of discoloration. Sold as shown. A strong traditional globe that balances academic function with classic decor presence.
