Decorative model Compass 8.50 x 5.00 x 8.60 cm, Artesania Latina (25098)

Compass with brass dial in rosewood case, with anchor decoration
The compass is more than a navigational tool. It is a symbol of search, research and the desire to move forward. Its history begins in the 3rd century BC in China, where the principle of the magnetic arrow was first used by Feng Shui priests. Over time, the compass became an indispensable assistant for sailors, explorers and travelers around the world. It acquired its modern form thanks to centuries of improvements, including the contribution of the Portuguese inventor Ferrande in the 15th century.
This decorative compass is made of quality materials. The brass dial is set in a case made of rosewood, a noble wood with a rich color and expressive texture. The top cover is decorated with a relief image of an anchor, a symbol of stability, reliability and sea adventures. The compass will make a stylish gift, an office accessory or an interior element with a historical accent.
