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.

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

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!
