Globe Work Table (Globustisch)

Cleveland Museum of Art

Large dark brown globe with marbled appearance sits atop a stand. The globe has a horizontal gold band around its center with scrollwork design. The stand has three curved black legs that connect to a central post beneath the globe. The legs have gold accents at the top and bottom. A gold and bronze sculpture of a human head is on either side of the stand near the top. The base of the stand is a trapezoid with gold accents along its edges. The background fades from dark at the top to light gray at the bottom. Globustisch by Peter Carl Fabergé.
