A 16th Century Reproduction…

Authentic Models is the renowned leader in antique globes. No other company in the world offers authentic reproductions of similar quality and affordability.

Attention to detail is key to a high quality reproduction and attention to detail is exactly what you receive in this elegant table globe. Centuries ago, earth globes were made by gluing copperplate printed gores on a plaster finished papier-mâché core. Today, Authentic Models replicates the complicated ‘gravure’ printing process, ensuring the sharpest lines, words, and symbols. The detailed gores are derived from original charts, researched by Authentic Models for their historical accuracy and visual appeal. In the ultimate tribute to traditional craftsmanship, the individual gores are hand applied just as was practiced by the original globe makers.

The globe in this composition is an authentic reproduction of a 16th Century Mercator globe. The historically accurate globe is displayed in a carefully balanced classic globe stand. Crafted of gracefully turned ebonized wood, the tapered circular base is capped with a complementing bronze riser and semi-meridian. The bronze pole caps and finials provide just the right finishing touch to this simple yet elegant composition.

Note: As with all of our authentic antique reproductions, this globe is intended to be displayed and viewed for its artistic value rather than as an accurate scientific or cartographic reference source.
