Ivory & Blue Globe Bookends

Available exclusively from World Globe Universe…
Imbued with a sense of history, these customized antique reproduction globe bookends hearken back to an age when individual craftsmen plied their trades with the sure knowledge that quality was their best assurance of future patronage. Faithfully reproducing the cartography of the original 16th century Mercator Globe, these unusual bookends provide a unique and highly individualized décor option.

The quality of the ivory & blue bookends is evidenced by their thoughtful design. Utilizing an extremely stable inverted “T” design, the bookends will unfailingly support your most cherished volumes. Whether you have one book or dozens, the placement of your book on the projecting metal tang effectively captures the weight of the book to ensure both your book and your bookend stay firmly in place. Unlike so many decorative bookends, when you employ the Ivory & Blue Globe bookends you will never worry about your books falling over and knocking your precious books or book end to the floor.

Printed in contrasting blue, the astonishingly detailed cartography of the ivory Earth globe depicts the world as it was known in 1541 when the Mercator globe was originally created. From the deep sheen of the lacquer finished solid wood bookend, to the hand applied gores on the globe, no detail is overlooked.

Mounted securely to the solid wood base, the inclined axial mount riser provides not only a solid attachment for your globe but a handsomely decorative one as well. The bronze toned finials, with the oversize matching pole caps, hold the papier-mâché globes securely while avoiding any possibility of crushing or other mounting damage. This uncompromising attention to detail is key to a high quality reproduction and Authentic Models is the acknowledged leader in antique globe reproductions.

Knowing their creations were destined for the homes of the most refined, affluent, and well educated members of society, ancient globe makers went to great pains to ensure the visual appeal of their finished works. These Ivory & Blue Globe book ends are a striking example of some of the best results. You will find these exquisite bookends are equally at home whether supporting a traditional cloth bound book or nestled against a hand stitched leather volume.

If you have been searching for the perfect accent to proclaim your impeccable taste and refinement, these Ivory & Blue Globe bookends may well be the solution you have been seeking. Add the perfect touch of understated sophistication without breaking your budget!

Note: Due to the fact these globes are hand customized after receipt of your order, the normal processing time is increased by 5 to 7 working days. Delivery times for large quantities may be affected by parts availability.
As with all antique reproduction globes, this globe is intended to be displayed and viewed for its artistic value rather than as an accurate scientific or cartographic reference source.
