Quick Delivery Options

As a company our focus – and most of the globes we make – are “bespoke to order”. This means the customer is choosing the size, style of base, globe colouring and choosing added personalisation. As you can imagine this style of working ahead leads to our diary booking up ahead of time – and there will always be a few months between the time you place your order and the delivery of your custom globe.

We often get requests for a quick turnaround time for last-minute gifts – so we now offer a few “quick delivery options”. This also suits a customer who knows they do not want personalisation on their globe.

These “quick delivery options” are a small amount of globes we make each month in a handful of the most popular colours options. We make these globes in both 22cm diameter and 36cm diameter sizing. These globes cannot be customised with illustrations or text edits but you still have a choice of bases (Walnut, Oak or London Plane Wood) and the option of adding a personalised engraving to the base.

Our quick delivery options always sellout month-to-month so we recommend you placing an order when you see a colour if available or getting in touch to ask what colours will be launching the next month.

If you do not see the exact colour you want available or you do want to personalise the globe itself – you can also book in with a 50% deposit on the size (you do not have to choose anything but the sizing and even that can change later) – and we will send a gift card for you to present to the recipient. This means you can either surprise them with a personalised globe or you can allow them to them ‘design their own globe’ – choosing the colour, base and personalising their own globe. This is a fun and unique experience to create something totally one of a kind and people love being part of the making process. The gift card includes a hand painted strip of the map which represents what is to come.

We ship worldwide from London, England. Our globes ship in a lovely ‘flight case’ perfect for gift giving and ensuring safe arrival.

Take a look at our website under “Quick Delivery Options” which can be found in the “22cm Mini Desk Globe” section as well as the “Albion 360 and Larger Multi-Directional Globes” section. Or email : jade@bellerbyglobemakers.com.

The Quick Delivery globes do not have a ‘world leaders list’ on them or any other personalisation.

22cm Albion and 36cm Albion globes spin 360 degrees in a fluid motion by hand and can be lifted from their bases. All of our globes are made to be touched and spun.

Colours usually available :

22cm Blue Cassini : One of the most popular colour choices recently! The colourful land is shaded by country and balanced with a vibrant warm blue ocean. Example shown is 22cm on London Plane Wood.

36cm Blue Cassini : The colourful land is shaded by country and balanced with a warm blue ocean. Example shown on Walnut.

Prussian Blue : example shown is the 36cm sizing on Walnut.

Gagarin : One of our most detailed colours. Shown in 36cm sizing and on Walnut. The globe is painted using reference to satellite imagery – an artistic rendition of Earth from space.

Cobalt : Bright vibrant and modern. The ocean gets darker as it nears the coast and the land is kept quite simple in contrast. Shown in 36cm sizing.

Mint Green : Sizing shown is 36cm and base is London Plane Wood.

Mint Cassini : Like Blue Cassini – a colourful land painted by country rather than continent. But with a more mellow minty / sea-foam green ocean. Example shown is 22cm on a Walnut Standard base.

Glacial Blue : Globe shown has an added personalisation not included on quick delivery options. Base shown is Oak with a medium finish.

Regency Blue : Similar to Glacial Blue but but with a warmed blue tone to the ocean. Example shown is 22cm on an Aluminium Albion base (note : additional charge) & with added personalisation (note: not on any quick delivery option).

Celestial : Our celestial globe features traditional representations of our heavenly bodies illustrated in exquisite detail. 88 hand drawn and hand painted constellations adorn our unique globe forming the perfect complement, and customary partner, to its terrestrial brother.

Cool Blue : Example shown in 36cm diameter on Walnut. The ocean is a light grey-blue and gets darker as it nears the coast. The land has simple washes of colour giving a modern feel to the globe overall.

Base Finish Options :

The Albion base can be with or without the little metal feet. We highly recommend it without and just having little “invisible” rubber feet. This ensures your base sits nicely on all surfaces and reduces the amount of noise when the globe is spun.
