About This Globe

The Royal large desktop globe is one of the most visually impressive desktop globes we’ve seen. Each globe ball is hand blown by German craftsmen from the finest glass and the gores (individual sections of the map) are hand laid. Showcasing up-to-date cartography and featuring incredible dual mapping. When unlit the pale-yellow globe shows political mapping, with countries defined by colour. When lit the cartography transforms to show the physical mapping, with an impressive 3D textured mountain effect and rivers that come to life with vibrant detail.

All focus of this truly magnificent 40cm diameter globe will be drawn to the globe ball, as the minimalist design of matt gold-lacquered steel base and meridian helps only to enhance the globes brilliance. This globe is illuminated via a cable and looks fantastic lit up in a moderately dark room. Perfect for evenings in. German quality at its best!
