Agresti Jewelry and Watch Boxes The Osvaldo Agresti Co was founded in 1949 in the heart of Florence, and operates with the most advanced technologies available and performs all stages of production, from raw material to finished product. The entire production is crafted from exotic and domestic woods in a variety of finishes and are lined with tarnish free ultra suede. Wood is properly opened and cut in slices to give a veneer of rich tonality and design. The veneer of the box is glued to a twelve layer poplar panel and laminated in opposite directions to prevent warping. The panels are then sanded, the holes filled with stucco, and then twice sprayed. This process is then repeated two more times. A delicate final spraying process then finishes the box to create a beautiful and unique product.

Eureka Globes Masterpiece Collection
Globes fascinate us with their unique ability to portray our world as a beautiful sphere. Unlike flat maps, the globe is a perfect Earth model, showing accurate dimensions, directions and distances. Each globe in the Masterpiece Collection by Eureka has been carefully designed to combine the most accurate geographic information with the finest cartographic styles and handcrafted stands for unsurpassed quality. Their uncompromising attention to detail and legibility produces globes with superb reference value and aesthetic appeal.

Over 3000 carefully researched place names are included on every 12" globe - the 16" globe has more than 4000 place names. In addition to cities, major landforms, rivers and water bodies are labeled. These globes are valuable geographic references, in contrast to globes made of acrylic or stone which are often limited to fewer than 300 labels for the entire world. Eureka's globes also include highly detailed coastlines representing all continents and islands with precision

Each stand is designed to complement but not overpower the globe. All are hand-finished and paired with coordinated, plated (not spray painted) meridians. Full rotating meridians allow the globe to pivot 360 degrees in addition to full rotation about the poles. A semi-meridian spins 360 degrees about the poles only, minimizing visual interference while retaining an articulated scale in degrees. An axis arm eliminates the meridian entirely but permits full 360 rotation about the polar axis. Polar caps are made of metal, not plastic. Selecting a floor or table stand is a matter of personal preference and space availability. Table models are perfect for desks, credenzas, side or coffee tables, pedestals, wide shelves or ledges. Floor globes complement living rooms, dens, libraries, offices and entryways, much like fine furniture.

It's updateable! Eureka will provide a new replacement 12" ball for $50 or 16" ball for $75 (plus S&H) to any Masterpiece Collection globe owner. A removable pin releases the globe from the meridian for easy replacement.
