Paris world
globe is displayed on a classic
Vaugondy stand, with appealing elegant proportions, and
a luxuriant combination of bronze and ebonized wood.
The globe's cartography is
modeled after the Gilles (1688 – 1766) and Didier (c. 1723 – 1786) de Vaugondy
maps. Father and son were map publishers active in Paris during the mid-18th
century. The Vaugondys were well respected for the detail and accuracy of
their maps, basing their maps upon their own considerable geographic research,
the journals of explorers and missionaries, and direct astronomical observation.
Blue ocean globe is supported by a full calibrated
meridian.

creates and distributes a comprehensive collection of historical
reproductions and unique home décor worldwide. The aim is to
challenge the mind as well as the eye. No other company in the world
offers
reproduction antique globes and armillary
of similar quality and affordability. Attention to detail is
key. All globes are made using original charts, researched for their
historical accuracy and visual appeal. Centuries ago globes were
made by gluing copperplate printed gores on a plaster finished
papier-mâché core. Given the limited technology available at the
time, a complicated production process, and a multitude of
specialists involved, it was logical that only the very rich could
afford to own globes. This is illustrated by 18th C. Dutch painters
who used globes to symbolize affluence, science, sophistication, and
even worldliness. Authentic Models globes offer history at your
fingertips and highlight some of the world’s most famous
cartographers: Mercator, Hondius, and Vaugondy. |
