Each globe and base is made bespoke to order in our London studio and workshop apart from our quick delivery options which are a small collection of our most popular colours made each month for delivery without added personalisation.
Popular personalisation includes charting personal or family travel, family history, hobbies, interests, theming globes with monuments, animals, birds, plants, historical figures, explorers and sea-life – or simply your own home, pets, and favourite memories. We can illustrate from descriptions or using your personal photos, we can take your lead on design ideas or give you suggestions.
The best world globes for adults combine sophisticated design with accurate, detailed cartography, and high quality craftsmanship – making them ideal for homes, offices ,or study decor. Clients also commission globes for their unborn or newborn children to represent the world as it was when they were born and as a heirloom quality item they can grow with throughout the stages of their life ahead. Commissions also often celebrate milestones like new jobs, high school or university graduation gifts, weddings, engagements, anniversaries (paper, wood, silver, gold), new homes – or just an inspiration to add a beautiful object to your home that you can interact with.
