Royal Glass Hand-laid 40cm Illuminated Globe

When only the finest will do!

Globes don't come much more special than the Royal Glass Illuminated Globe.

This 40cm (16") diameter illuminated globe is larger than the standard size for desktop globes. Each globe ball is hand blown by German craftsmen from the finest glass and the gores (individual sections of the map) are hand-laid. The cartographic artistry of the map, with its unique use of shading on land masses and in the oceans to create a 3-dimensional relief effect, is second to none. The globe shows political features of the earth when unlit and physical features appear when the globe is illuminated. The stand on the Royal Glass globe is made from gold coloured steel and is deliberately kept simple in design so as not to detract from the globe itself. German quality at its best!
