The Vaugondy 1745 Old World Globe pays homage to the beautiful and ornate globes created for Louis XIV by Father and Son Vaugondy. These historical globes once decorated libraries and reception rooms at Versailles and the Louvre in Paris A.D. and one set of original paper globe gores made by Vaugondy is carefully guarded in archives of the Biblioteque Nationale de France.
The Vaugondy 1745 Old World Globe is an accurate replica of the original set, using printed copies of the ancient cartography to chart and hand apply the continents and countries of the Earth as they were perceived many years ago. Each striking graphic has been carefully hand applied to the surface of the globe, true to the old world look and feel of the sphere.
This gorgeous globe sits in a Baroque style cast iron stand and stands 55" tall and 30" wide, making it a breathtaking addition to any study, office or library. Each aspect of the stunning Vaugondy 1745 Old World Globe complements another, creating a picturesque globe as a whole that is a historical document that represents the beauty and prestige of ancient cartography and exploration.
