32 cm Terrestrial Table Globe, 154117th Century Terrestrial Table Globe Back then only royalty and very affluent citizens were able to afford globes of this kind. Mounted on an elaborate wood stand with turned supports and ball feet. Complete with printed horizon ring and functioning dry compass and bronze meridian circle. The globe is hand made on a paper maché core, built up of twelve delicately colored gores, with polar calottes and the oceans decorated with sailing ships. The original maps were drawn by Gerardus Mercator in 1541 and were revolutionary in that age and time. Enjoy this antique globe like a fascinating book on the Voyages of Discovery. H. 51cm, 20". W. 44cm., 17.5". Note: Due to its size, this item can only be surface shipped to the lower 48 United States.
