Leerdam World Globe. To spend time with a globe is to wonder. People and places, future and past, space and time. A globe is a reservoir for all of this. Probe all of the mysteries of the globe. Frank Lloyd Wright (1867 - 1959) is widely considered to be America"s greatest architect. He amazed the world with his architectural ingenuity and designs. His vision encompassed the buildings and residences he designed, as well as their landscaping, art glass, furniture, lighting and floor covering, to create a unified whole. In 1929, Frank Lloyd Wright created 33 designs for tableware including china, stemware, serving pieces, candlesticks, and vases. These designs were originally intended to be produced in metal, china, or crystal. The uniqueness and complexity of the designs limited the manufacturer of the collection to a few pieces during this time. This Leerdam Globe"s stand is adapted from one of the Leerdam Archival drawings. Dimensions: 12" L x 13" W x 20" H Weight: 1 lbs.
