Terrestrial and celestial table globes
A Pair of Terrestrial and Celestial globes on Mahogany stands with a turned support raised on three feet centred on the company roses. The globes encircled by engraved brass meridian rings and surmounted by hour discs.
The celestial globe has a longer history than the terrestrial globe. Greek and Roman authors mention the existence of celestial globes and Archimedes is recorded as having used one in the third century BC.
The first terrestrial globe, on the other hand, was produced around 150 BC. In the 15th century Nuremberg became the first major center of globe production in modern Europe, the earliest known celestial globe dating from 1444, and the earliest surviving terrestrial globe dating from 1492.

A fine pair of elegant globes on distinctive tall Georgian stands. The globes mounted on their original elegant English mahogany tripod stands, original compasses without pointers, papered horizon bars supported by four quadrants, with central turned wooden pillar and curved feet. Both globes bear the seal and inscription of Newton & Son. Non-exportable Lot.
