Inspired by a beloved astronomy globe from Wendy Gold’s personal archives dating back to the 1960s, this celestial globe celebrates the enduring beauty of the night sky and the stories humans have mapped across it for centuries.
Traditional constellation drawings and zodiac figures — rooted in classical mythology — wrap the globe in an intricate tapestry of stars, creatures, and legends. Orion raises his shield beside Taurus the bull; Pegasus glides across deep celestial blue; the zodiac signs trace their ancient paths through the heavens. Every detail is designed to evoke the romance of antique star charts while feeling artful, warm, and timeless in a modern home.
Each globe is designed by artist and globe maker Wendy Gold, and sustainably made by hand in her USA based studio by artisan globe makers and professional wood workers, using eco-friendly materials and finishes.
Special design features include exquisite collage map art created from vintage maps, ephemera, engravings and illustrations, and our original globe design with a handcrafted wood base that allows the globe to fully spin around its axis. Because a World made by hand should tell your story, you can choose from four stained wooden base options, and add a complimentary personalized message of your words circling the North Pole. Not just a globe - your globe.
Perfect for libraries, creative spaces, nurseries, observatories, and thoughtful gifting — especially for astronomers, mythology lovers, and lifelong dreamers.
