Old World Globe is emblematic of 17th Century science. Uniting precious bronze with hardwood and hand-applied paper map gores on a papier-mâché core. Legendary cartographer, Jodocus Hondius (whose image can be seen below), worked in Amsterdam during the 1600s, then one of the world’s commercial hubs. Galleons sailing oceans to the farthest corners of the then known world. Exotic cultures, languages, people and goods to be traded, bought and sold. Gold and ivory, spices and silks. Spin the world and enjoy a touch of true history. World globe is displayed on a classically elegant stand made with ebonized wood and bronze. The globe is supported by calibrated full-meridian (ring holding the globe).
