Restoration Breathing Life Back

We are often asked if we restore old and new globes. Depending on the condition of the globe, the restoration process may include cleaning, repairing or replacing missing or damaged parts, and repainting or re-gilding.

The earliest known terrestrial globe was created by the Greek geographer and astronomer Crates of Mallus in the 2nd century BC. It was made of solid bronze and was only about 10″ diameter.
