Vintage Italian Globe & Armillary Sphere Bookends — Pair

A little geography, a little astronomy, and a very good reason to keep a favorite row of books close at hand. This vintage Italian pair brings together an old-world terrestrial globe and an open armillary sphere with an illustrated zodiac band. Their warm map colors, metal rings, and reddish-brown bases give them the look of something discovered in a well-traveled library.

Why they caught our eye
We love that the two ends are different but clearly belong together. They make even a short stack of books feel like a collection.
