Two folk art columnar pedestals with celestial and terrestrial globes as finials. Both with carved wood columnar bases with figural acanthus leaf motif leading to rotating globes on top with wire mount. The globes, circa 1910, are by the Atlas Globe Supply Company of Chicago, paper over plaster. Each base is painted gold.
These were believed to be out of a secret society lodge in the New England area.
Each globe stands 36 inches tall and is 16 x 16 inches wide.
Columnar bases each have extensive chipping and wear to surface. Globes are split at the equator and paper is separating from the globe surfaces. Celestial globe has some loss of paper in one spot.
