The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Bacons Excelsior globes were educational terrestrial globes produced by G.W. Bacon & Co. in London during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, designed for home and school use.

Traditional globes were made using plaster or papier-mache spheres covered with printed paper gores, mounted on brass semi-meridians and turned wooden bases.

Authentic examples feature printed cartouches indicating historical mapmakers or publishers, age-appropriate patination, and geopolitical boundaries reflecting specific historical periods.

A terrestrial globe functions as a decorative accent on an office desk, library bookshelf, or console table within a traditional or eclectic interior scheme.

Keep the piece away from direct sunlight and high humidity to prevent fading and warping, using a dry, soft microfibre cloth to remove dust gently.
