Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

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.

This Edwardian terrestrial floor-standing globe stands on a warm brown mahogany stand. The piece pairs a paper globe with a brass half-meridian, supported by a turned column above tripod cabriole legs featuring carved details and scroll feet. The globe surface displays a printed map with green landmass details and various markings. Measuring 91 cm high, 31 cm wide and 31 cm deep, it occupies a compact footprint. In a contemporary home, this globe suits a study, library or empty corner, bringing a traditional scholarly aesthetic to interior spaces. The mahogany shows warm grain variation with polished surfaces, while the paper globe exhibits natural age-related discoloration and surface wear consistent with its school provenance. The tripod base provides stable floor placement, and the rotating mechanism allows for examination of the cartography. It functions as both a decorative accessory and a practical reference object for collectors of antique geographical instruments.

FAQs

A floor-standing terrestrial globe is a spherical map mounted on an elevated base or tripod stand, designed to sit directly on the floor for viewing in a study or library.

Traditional globes feature plaster or papier-mache spheres covered with printed paper gores, supported by brass meridian rings and set into turned hardwood stands such as mahogany or walnut.

Authenticity is indicated by historical cartography and outdated geopolitical boundaries, hand-coloured paper gores, natural patination on brass fittings, and hand-turned wooden stand components.

Position the globe in an empty corner, beside an armchair, or adjacent to a bookcase to add structure, height, and a classic focus to a room.

Keep the item away from direct sunlight and radiators to prevent paper lifting and wood warping, dusting the sphere gently with a dry, soft cloth without liquid polishes.
