Rediscover the world through the lens of history with this handcrafted globe, featuring an original 1800s world map brought to life in soft vintage pastels. Gentle hues and finely detailed water currents evoke the elegance of antique cartography while offering a unique, artistic perspective on global geography.

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.

A perfect gift for history buffs, globe collectors, and anyone who cherishes the beauty of old-world craftsmanship—this globe is a graceful blend of art, history, and modern sustainability.

• HAND PRESSED – Each globe is individually printed and hand-pressed to order in our California studio, ensuring one-of-a-kind craftsmanship in every piece.

• MAPPING OUR GLOBES – An eight-year journey led to the world’s only process for turning flat antique maps into handcrafted globes. While landforms remain true, no globe can ever be a perfect representation of the Earth. Expect slight imperfections—beautiful evidence of its handmade origin in today’s mass-produced world.

• ECO-FRIENDLY – When the world is your canvas, it should be treated with care. We craft our globes using recycled materials, non-toxic glues, and eco-conscious finishes—because the Earth isn’t just our subject, it’s our priority.
