Up for sale is a stunning, masterfully crafted Alexander Kalifano Executive Desktop Gemstone Globe.
This luxury geographical centerpiece stands an impressive 11 inches tall and serves as a magnificent conversation piece for any home library, corporate office, or study shelf.
The globe features shimmering oceans meticulously inlaid with natural Mother of Pearl, while individual countries and continents are hand-carved from a vibrant mosaic of authentic semi-precious gemstones (including jasper, jade, onyx, and lapis).
The sphere is cradled in a heavy, brilliant gold-tone brass 4-pillar stand featuring full 360-degree rotation.
Built directly into the central pedestal is an executive instrument cluster housing three individual quartz clocks with gems (ideal for tracking multiple global time zones) and an integrated mechanical thermometer dial.
CONDITION REPORT
Gemstone Sphere: Excellent aesthetic condition.
The gemstone and Mother of Pearl inlay is entirely intact, smooth, and flush across the entire topography. Colors are rich and vibrant.Brass Frame: Maintains a brilliant, high-gloss golden shine. Frame is structurally rock-solid and spins smoothly. Shows only minimal, faint surface cleaning dust lines or light display wear consistent with age.
Instruments: The analog thermometer dial responds naturally to ambient room temperature changes. The face crystals are clean and scratch-free.
[Seller Note on Electronics]: The three quartz clocks are currently untested and may require standard fresh button-cell batteries (such as SR626SW/377 or similar).
Because this item is dense, heavy, and contains fragile semi-precious stonework, it will be packaged with extreme care.
The globe will be detached and heavily wrapped in multiple layers of thick professional bubble wrap and shipped inside a rigid, oversized box with ample padding to prevent any shifting during transit.
