This is a finely crafted antique style reproduction globe apart of the new Replogle Age of Exploration line. Featured in this version of the Conti are globe map gores crafted by Vincenzo Coronelli. Born in Venice 1650 Coronelli is regarded as one of Italy's finest cartographers of the 17th century. As Royal Cartographer under King Louis XIV, Coronelli was granted access to the latest documentation sent from the colonies to the French Academy of Sciences. Also producing printed globe gores and pocket-sized globes, Corenelli's span of work is considered to represent the pinnacle of geographic knowledge of the world in the late 17th century.

The stalwart hardwood base with Baroque design was inspired by and named after Venetian merchant and explorer Niccolo Da Conti. Da Conti's travels took him to India and Southeast Asia during the 15th century resulting in a greater European understanding of the areas around the Indian Ocean. His accounts greatly influenced 15th century cartography. 

An elegant handcrafted masterpiece that combines cartographic excellence with Old World appeal.
