The Earth and the Heavens in one box! The two cutest mini globes you will ever find! One is a Terrestrial Globe, symbolizing the Earth in 1551, the other one is a Celestial Globe, symbolizing the Heavens in 1551. That was the time when stars and constellations were discovered, named and drawn after mythological figures. They ruled the heavens of the era while the travelers and explorers were discovering new lands on the Earth. These compact globes make a perfect gift to anybody whom you want to impress.
These desk globes come with one stand on a wooden base. By themselves, they can also be used as hanging home decors.
The miniature globes have hand-applied gores like those from the famous Dutch cartographer, Gerardus Mercator. Made in cooperation with the Royal Library in Brussels. Making globes attention to detail is key. Especially concentrating on a small size globe and making it proportional and readable.
All our globes are made using original charts, researched by cartographers and designers for their historical accuracy and visual appeal.
