Black Ocean Globes and the Art Deco Renaissance

Black ocean globes are some of the most stylish of the political globes on the market. The white lettering on the black background is easy to read, and the landmasses contrast vividly with the dark oceans. These black ocean globes typically come with slick stainless steel or aluminum stands, which add to the cool, understated style.

Black ocean globes may seem to be a fairly recent innovation, but their roots go back to the Art Decoratif movement that dominated American style in the 1930s. It was during the Art Deco era that black ocean globes first came into vogue. These now antique black ocean globes are very popular among collectors and being traded all over the Web.

During the 1990s, the Art Deco style made a big comeback, and it brought black ocean globes with it. Black ocean globes quickly found their way into the modern mainstream and have maintained popularity for more than a decade now. Hopefully, black ocean globes are here to stay.
