Vaugondy Replica Globe
1745 de Vaugondy Reproduction
on Base
Here is an exquisite reproduction
featuring the cartography of Robert de Vaugondy, globemaker for Louis XIV.
This globe will make the perfect desk
ornament at just 5 inches in diameter. This classic reproduction is
available with or without your choice of a hand polished, hand cast
aluminum base, bronze base, or a finished rosewood base. We also offer a
solid mahogany 3-leg stand which is a faithful replica of an original
piece found in the European National Library. Base options are presented
during checkout.
Twelve paper gores are applied to the
core on this hand made antique globe replica. Vaugondy globes are produced using copies of the original
paper globe gores that are securely stored at the Biblioteque Nationale de
France. Special attention is taken to replicate the complex
'gravure' printing process that was used during this time period.
