The charming Minerva mobile bar globe on casters can only be described as a “full circle,” because everything about it is spherical, from the full meridian that encompasses the 16-inch (40 cm) diameter earth globe itself to the finely detailed illustrations on the lower base of the floor stand.

As authentic as a twenty-first-century work of sixteenth-century furniture art can be, this floor-standing mobile bar in a globe boasts a true replica of an original 16th-century map, as does all globe furniture in Zoffoli’s classic collection. Vintage charm and old world distinction simply flow from the accurate reproduction of antique reproduction on the vintage-style globe, which is enhanced even further by the wooden meridian.

In addition to the spacious liquor cabinet inside the intricately detailed globe itself, which can house 2-3 bottles and up to 9 glasses, the beautifully illustrated base shelf provides a specially designed rack to store glassware and bar accessories.

The world globe rotates when the mobile globe bar is closed, and the two halves of the globe turn separately when the bar globe is open.

The hand turned solid hardwood legs are fitted with casters for transporting the drinks cabinet to another location with ease. And you can choose a globe color that best matches your decor.

The Italian manufacturer Zoffoli named this floor-standing bar globe on casters after Minerva, who was the Roman goddess of wisdom and strategic warfare, and the sponsor of arts, trade, and strategy. She was born of Metis, who had been swallowed by Jupiter, and burst from her father’s head, fully armed and clad in armor. From the second century BC onward, the Romans equated her with the Greek goddess Athena. She was the virgin goddess of music, poetry, medicine, wisdom, commerce, weaving, and the crafts.
