Each month we handcraft and hand paint a handful of globes in the most popular sizes. Quick delivery globes have choice of wood base, choice of finish to the wood, and space for a personalised engraving that sits in the base.
Desktop globes spin 360 degrees in all directions by hand, you can give them great big spins and easily lift from their bases.
You can enter your engraving choice directly in to the website, otherwise we will be in touch to confirm you choice over email, you do not have to decide on the engraving or base to reserve one of the Quick Delivery options and we are happy to help with any aspects you find confusing so please do email us (info@bellerbyglobemakers.com) or phone the studio (M-F : + 44(0) 20 8800 7235). Reminder we are in London, England.

The Traveller Edition is another epic option filled with hand drawn and hand painted illustrations. Iconic monuments, Bucket List places, natural wonders, landscapes – a truly inspiring globe that reminds you just how special the world is and the beauty of travel. Some imagery will be oh so familiar while others will soon be added to your to-do list. Available in 36cm diameter (usually sells out quickly!), for a larger or smaller size you can commission bespoke and also add your own memories.
Mint Green Ocean-Shaded is a quiet favourite among the team. It is just such a pleasing colour both classic and modern. Shown here in 22cm sizing with a Walnut base – natural finish.
Botanica is an underrated gem, available in just 22cm sizing. The colouring is our Glacial Blue. Who would not want a globe filled with beautiful native flowers and trees along with information. You can commission other sizes bespoke.
Our Celestial globe is also a firm favourite for returning clients alongside the Moon or purchased as part of a traditional pair with our terrestrial (Earth) globes. Also perfect for star gazers and astrology lovers. It is so colourful and fun to look at from any angle. Bespoke variations can be commissioned with differing colour skies or we can adapt a constellation in to you or your dog or cat etc 🙂 Get in touch for quotes, timelines and to discuss options. Shown here in 36cm diameter sizing with a Walnut base.
Mint Green has my heart even-though most clients lean towards the blue oceans. It is so easy on the eyes, mellow, warm and pleasant. The warm brown land pairs nicely with Walnut with a natural finish or coffee stain, London Plane wood with a medium or dark stain, Oak with a medium stain or for a pop and to add a modern edge choose London Plane Wood with an ebonised finish.
The Silk Road – another popular themed globe in our collection.
The Silk Road (c. 200 BCE – 1400s CE) was a 4,000-mile network of trade routes connecting East and West, transformed world history by facilitating the exchange of goods, cultures, technologies, and diseases. It acted as a conduit for silk, spices, and technologies like paper and gunpowder, influencing the development of civilisations, spreading religions (Buddhism, Islam), and sparking the Age of Discovery. Beyond goods, it allowed for the transfer of knowledge and scientific ideas, which significantly influenced the European Renaissance. The routes led to the growth of prosperous, multicultural cities that acted as trading hubs and fostered connectivity between previously isolated regions, contributing to early globalisation.
The colour shown is Ocean-Shaded Mint Green, for other colours and sizes and options to add further personalisation please book bespoke here.
