Atlases and World Globes > Boardroom and Office World Globes > San Marcos 30cm by Replogle

From the Frank Lloyd Wright collection, this 12 inch globe includes an antique look with modern cartography. The globe sits in a beautifly crafted walnut base. Giving the piece a height of 56cm(22").

In 1928, Frank Lloyd Wright began creating a major remodeling project of the existing resort, the San Marcos in the Desert Hotel on the outskirts of Phoenix. The project was never completed due to the 1929 stock market crash, but the building design and the interior renderings contain a variety of interesting furniture and decorative features. This adapted globe stand showcases the 60 degree angled legs and the hexagonal top of a small accent table designed for the totally new special Dining Pavilion bordered by the garden terraces of the San Marcos in the Desert Hotel, Chandler, Arizona.
