Description
One of the biggest from the Zoffoli Classic Collection, this floor-standing extra large globe bar cabinet has an inner compartment that can accommodate up to 6 or 8 bottles and approximately 16 glasses. Additional bottles can be stored on the lower base, beautifully decorated with natural water-based colors.
This 16th-century antique world globe replica will impress guests with both its beauty and its girth and is sure to be the most talked about centerpiece in your home.
In addition to the hidden home bar cabinet inside the intricately detailed vintage reproduction globe itself, the uniquely rectangular-shaped base shelf is fitted with a lovely and functional bottle rack that provides security for more bottles and glassware.
And although it is large, this grand piece of antique replica furniture can easily be moved from one location to another. The legs of the floor stand are made from hand turned solid hardwood and equipped with casters so that the globe bar can be conveniently rolled away to wherever it is needed most. The antique replica globe sphere rotates at the equatorial meridian both when the drinks cabinet is open and when the terrestrial globe is closed. The meridian, equator ring and floor stand of the extra large globe bar have all been hand stained a lovely chestnut color.
The Italian manufacturer Zoffoli named this extra large bar globe cabinet after Caronte – Charon or Kharon in English. Charon is the ferryman of Hades who carries souls of the newly deceased across the rivers Styx and Acheron that divided the world of the living from the world of the dead.
