This elegant Italian bar globe is one of the few drinks cabinets in Zoffoli’s Classic Collection that has neither a semi nor a full meridian encasing the world globe. Consequently the contour of this globe liquor cabinet on wheels is smoother and cleaner, and though it is a true period replica, it blends in nicely with contemporary decor.

This floor-standing bar globe on wheels can accommodate up to 9 glasses and 2 or 3 bottles. Also, the height of this tasteful home bar is slightly greater than average for its size range, considering there is no meridian. This, combined with the lack of a meridian underneath the globe, result in being able to store taller bottles and stemware on the base shelf of the Italian bar globe floor stand.

Crafted in a time-honored method, the 16th century globe of the earth is reproduced by layering accurate map replicas, printed on paper gores, onto the base sphere. The interior dome, which displays finely detailed illustrations, serves as a ceiling for the drinks storage compartment inside.

A feature in itself, the picturesque, water color screen-printed base shelf is equipped with a specially designed rack to store glassware.

The Italian manufacturer Zoffoli named this bar globe after Enea, or Aeneas in English. In Greco-Roman mythology, Aeneas was a Trojan hero, the son of the prince Anchises and the goddess Venus (Aphrodite).

The turned wood legs are equipped with casters for easy relocation.
