Antique Style Reproduction and Modern Globes

These globes are both educational and attractive as furniture for the home, office, library or boardroom. They are made by traditional methods - printed gores are pasted onto spheres of plaster or, in the case of modern globes, synthetic material. The globes are made to order (although a small selection is also kept in stock at our Bond Street gallery) and delivery time, if not immediately available, is 4 to 8 weeks. All prices are subject to VAT at 17.5% and shipping charges as extra. Please ask for further details.
