Not made in China
Why is this important?
Cartography that is printed on globes exported from China may show manipulated land borders and island territories that are not recognised by the United Nations and western countries. China subsidise globe manufacturing to make them cheaper to buy and this is used to increase China's 'soft power'.

We only supply globes with cartography that is printed in Europe or the United States which accurately reflect our world.

Perfectly sized for tabletops or desk tops, this nostalgic 1950s style 12" illuminated globe with striking contrast of the oceans and colourful land masses, featuring today's cartography, makes an attractive addition to any room. And, of course, when illuminated, the glow of the land against the dark oceans sets a perfect night time mood. The steel base finished in antique pewter and its die-cast, fully numbered meridian adds to the Orion's unique design and appeal. There is just something about black ocean globes. If you are looking for a globe with a contemporary style and also a lot of map detail, the Orion globe is for you. Mains operated.
