    Hi all,


    I recently bought this brass celestial globe. It appears to be Islamic?


    Very heavy, approximately 20cm in diameter, 30cm in height.


    Any idea as to age?


    The screw in bottom doesn't appear old enough to be an antique 20180424_182635.jpg 20180424_175412.jpg 20180424_182701.jpg 20180424_182716.jpg

    Looks similar to many of the décor or tourist items often marked "made in Persia" but actually coming from Iran or India, source of many brass décor items.

    Thank you. I did think it was probably mass produced, but couldn't find any of the same size and "look" in my searches.


    Much appreciated!
