Description
We have produced these superb globes on fine intricate bronze floor standing tripod stands, the design is taken from the same stand design that Charles Copley used, however it should be noted that Copley produced his stands in cast iron, this being the most readily available and economical material at the time.
DELIVERY
Bespoke globes can take in the region of 6-18 months to complete, depending on how busy we are, and which globe you want. Please contact us with any questions, we are always happy to discuss your requirements and advise on lead times and payment options.
When purchasing our historic facsimile globes, and large modern globes we take a 50% deposit when the order is placed, and the remaining 50% plus delivery when the globe is completed.
Delivery will be calculated then the globe is ready, due to fluctuating costs of shipping.
Copley’s Terrestrial 1852
Call for Price
Charles Copley of New York, made his 16″ diameter terrestrial and celestial globes in 1852. Originally engraved on copper plate they soon won numerous awards and were justly described as ‘being prolific to the point of obscurity’.
Later in the 19th century two other American globemakers, Joslin and Moore & Nims, wisely updated Copley’s fine engravings in order to republish Copley’s work as their own. We have now republished this fine pair of early American terrestrial and celestial globes. They are presently available in their original 16″ diameter and will soon be available in larger formats.
