Dealers Notes

Our stock includes early oak and walnut furniture from the 18th century, as well as more formal pieces from the Georgian period. Clocks, barometers and globes are complemented by Colonial cabinets, furniture and early arms. Their scientific instruments, which include early microscopes, telescopes and equipment such as sextants, provide a fascinating insight into the evolution of technology, whilst demonstrating fine artistry and craftsmanship. One of Hansord’s many exhibitions was entitled ‘From simplicity to complexity with a little eccentricity’ and this continues to be the guiding mantra behind their collection today.

This nineteenth century German miniature globe on stand presents a compelling desk accessory exemplifying Victorian style. Comprising paper, wood and metal construction with cream and black colourings, the piece features printed paper gores mapping the earth, supported by a curved metal spindle attached to a turned wooden pedestal rising from a circular base. Visible physical details include aged surface wear and a compass set into the base. Measuring 25 cm high, 9 cm wide and 9 cm deep, this globe occupies minimal space on a surface. Ideal for placement on an office desk or within a gentleman's library, the accessory functions both as a decorative accent and a historical conversation piece.

FAQs

A miniature terrestrial globe is a scaled-down three-dimensional representation of the Earth, historically produced as an educational tool, novelty item, or desk accessory during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Antique desk globes were typically constructed using printed paper gores laid over a papier-mache or plaster sphere, mounted onto a turned wooden base via a central iron or brass axis wire.

Authentic German globes often feature place names in German or specific cartographic publisher cartouches, accompanied by characteristic turned ebonised wooden bases and paper gores indicating historic geopolitical borders.

Position a miniature globe on a stack of books inside a shelving unit, or arrange it alongside scientific instruments on a study desk or mantelpiece as a focused decorative accent.

Keep the globe positioned away from direct sunlight and areas of high humidity to avoid discolouration and paper foxing, dusting it gently using a dry, soft microfibre cloth.
