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.

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.

This Georgian miniature table globe sits in a mahogany table stand, representing an 18th-century scientific desk accessory. The piece comprises a terrestrial globe featuring printed paper gores with a warm brown finish and good original lacquer, set within a finely engraved brass meridian ring and a calibrated horizon ring. Four turned wooden legs with ball feet support the stand, joined by cross-stretchers centered on a small turned column beneath the globe. The hardware includes a small brass compass or pointer mounted at the apex of the meridian ring. Wear appears across the aged paper surface and the dark timber finish. Measuring 8 cm high, 7 cm wide, and 7 cm deep, the miniature globe fits easily onto an office desk or a library study table. It suits a gentleman's library theme, placed on a writing desk, a display shelf, or a side table in a study or home office.

FAQs

Dust gently with a soft, dry microfibre brush, avoid direct sunlight and humidity changes to protect the printed paper gores, and never apply liquid cleaners or wax polish to the globe surface.

Place the globe on a study desk, bookshelf, or mantelpiece alongside leather-bound books, antique brass instruments, or contemporary minimalist decor to create a focused, scholarly accent.

Authentic pieces show period-accurate cartography, hand-coloured engraved paper gores, natural surface patination, aged brass fittings with expected oxidisation, and hand-turned woodwork consistent with period manufacturing techniques.

These globes typically feature plaster or papier-mache spheres covered with engraved paper gores, supported by a brass meridian ring and mounted on a turned hardwood stand, often made of mahogany, fruitwood, or walnut.

An 18th-century miniature table globe is a small-scale representation of the Earth mounted on a stand, designed for private study, educational purposes, or personal display in library settings.
