“This self-expression extends to an ornament that has decorated studies for centuries. Bellerby & Co Globemakers handcrafts desktop and floor-standing globes, which the London company’s founder Peter Bellerby suggests is “the most interactive piece of artwork you will ever buy. It might have the story of your life, your family over generations on there for you to reflect on,” he says. “It might just be a way of getting inspiration to see where you want to travel on your next trip.”
Personalization requests include labeling places close to a client’s heart, tracking family migration, or showing someone’s favorite travel itineraries. One of the more unusual commissions, Bellerby says, was a globe depicting undersea cables, reflecting that particular client’s industry. It sits on a base of three bronze petals, engraved with the names of his daughters and housing the ball bearings on which the globe spins.”
