FAQs

Terrestrial globes have been used since antiquity to represent the Earth in three dimensions, evolving significantly during the 19th and early 20th centuries with advancements in lithography and mass-market cartography.

Traditional globes were typically constructed using a paper gores map applied over a plaster or papier-mache sphere, supported by bases made from turned wood, cast iron, or brass.

The age of a globe can be identified by examining the geopolitical boundaries, place names, colonial territories, and the typography printed on the gore segments.

An antique globe adds intellectual character and historical depth when placed on a study desk, a bookshelf among leather-bound books, or a living room side table.

Preserve antique paper globes by keeping them out of direct sunlight to prevent fading, and dust them gently with a dry, soft microfibre cloth without using liquid cleaners.
