A sought after antique mid Victorian NEWTON’S NEW TERRESTRIAL GLOBE.

Produced by the world renowned Newton family of London. Dated 1863.

The Newton family were regarded as probably the finest globe makers of early Nineteenth century England. John Newton trained under Thomas Bateman before establishing his own company in 1780.

The label inscription states “Embracing every recent Discovery to the present time”

With a 38” circumference this table top globe has hand coloured engraved finely detailed gores over the plaster core. It is supported on polar iron pins and raised on the original turned hardwood stand with simple bun feet.

The sphere itself with damage but highly collectible regardless. A wonderful decorative piece steeped in the history of travel and exploration.

Newton globes are highly sought after and collected with the library floor examples selling for a premium.

The globe has historic repairs but is still a wonderful example and stands very well. The sphere turns well and this a great example to add to a collection.

Potentially a great restoration project.

Collection in person by appointment from our showroom.
