The majority of our globes are made in the traditional way, using plaster spheres, which are hand papered and hand painted, then aged to produce an authentic facsimile globe. Starting with the classic Victorian schoolroom globe by Merzbach & Falk, dated 1881, we now produce numerous different facsimile globes which range in size from just 2 inches to an impressive 5 feet in diameter. Our collection spans cartographic history from 1492 to the present day. You will also find some unusual globes amongst our collection, for example , 'Shakespeare's Globe' , 'Alice's Globe' , 'Holbein's Globe' , 'Elvis Globe' and our innovative 'Invisible Globe' . We can also customise individual globes for special occasions - see 'Customised Globes'.
