This Italian-made extra large globe bar cabinet with beautiful spiral legs is a piece of globe furniture art that is sure to be the most talked about centerpiece in your home. The 16th century antique world globe replica will impress guests with both its beauty and its girth, and it is available in two colors.

The Caronte is one of the largest floor-standing bar globes made by the Italian manufacturer Zoffoli.  The storage area in the big world globe liquor cabinet is able to accommodate a greater quantity of decanters, bottles and stemware than many others of its size: 6-8 bottles and up to 16 glasses.

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, made from hand turned solid hardwood, are complete 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 floor-standing bar globe 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.
