Barrel Globe by Replogle


The Barrel Globe is part of the Frank Lloyd Wright globe collection from Replogle Globes. This globe stand is an adaptation of one of the most universally recognized furniture designs found in the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation archives. It is a modified version of the famous Barrel Chair originally designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1903 and modified for his personal use at Taliesin in Spring Green, Wisconsin and for Herbert F. Johnson for his home Wingspread in Racine, Wisconsin in 1937.

The globe ball on the Barrel floor globe is 16" in diameter and offers approximately 8000 place names and is in a beautiful bronze metallic color. The 43" floor stand is made from maple wood with a walnut finish.

Currently, the Replogle Barrel globe sells for around $725.00.
