The bottom of the base is covered with felt to protect your fine furniture. This solid brass compass is beautifully detailed and polished to a high luster. Short History: - A compass is an instrument used for navigation and orientation that shows direction relative to the geographic ""cardinal directions"", or ""points"". Usually, a diagram called a compass rose shows the directions north, south, east, and west on the compass face as abbreviated initials. When the compass is used, the rose can be aligned with the corresponding geographic directions, so, for example, the ""N"" mark on the rose really points to the north. Frequently, in addition to the rose or sometimes instead of it, angle markings in degrees are shown on the compass. North corresponds to zero degrees, and the angles increase clockwise, so east is 90 degrees, south is 180, and west is 270. These numbers allow the compass to show azimuths or bearings, which are commonly stated in this notation.
