The 12-inch globe surmounted by an hour disc, in full moveable metal meridian, the horizon with Costello-type engraved paper calendar and zodiac, raised on a mahogany Duncan Phyfe style stand with turned and reeded central standard, on four downswept reeded legs, ending in brass animal paw casters. The stand is unusually high quality for a floor globe of this period.

This globe was made by the British globe maker W. & A.K. Johnston for Kittinger, one of the leading American furniture makers of the 20th century. See our Guide to Globe Makers for more about Johnston and Kittinger.
