Rare 1800s Andrews’ Lunar Tellurian
About the Item
This is a rare Weber Costello Scientific Globe Tellurian that dates to around 1880. This is a handsome globe made by, "Weber Costello Co. Chicago Heights, Illinois." The globe sits on a metal base that attaches to a wooden platform that has astrological signs. Stamp on stem reads, "Andrews."
A tellurian with a terrestrial globe and a moon at the end of a nickel-plated cast iron arm, operated by a gear work mechanism under the arm. When the arm is turned by hand, the 8-inch terrestrial globe rotates, the solid brass ball representation of the moon on a curved rod revolves round the globe, and both the globe and moon, in turn, revolve around a central serrated representation of the sun. The globe is mounted on an inclination arm, and set within a removable apparatus with two concentric rings — a day and night circle and a twilight band. It is mounted on a nickel-plated brass round tapering stand, the 12-sided iron base with an engraved paper calendar and zodiac. Each of the 12 zodiac signs is associated with one side of the base.

- Antique Large & Rare, Late 1800s Hand Crafted Wooden Carriage Novelty Cigar BoxLocated in Lisse, NLLarge, masterly hand-crafted and amazing condition wooden antique coach cigar holder. If you are a collector of truly unique antiques in general and of cigar or carriage related pieces in particular then this one of a kind centerpiece could be flying your way soon. Over the years we have sold a few antique novelty cigar holders, but never one of this size and never in the form of a carriage. Back in the day when this type of carriages were the means of transportation for only the wealthiest of western societies, smoking cigars certainly was a manly thing to do and very much 'en vogue'. Smoking cigars also proved that you had made it in this world. For all those reasons, this hand-crafted carriage cigar holder has always been and always will be a statement piece. We, as antique enthousiast, first and foremost fell in love with the workmanship and with the honest and timeless way in which this carriage was hand-crafted. We also love how perfectly balanced and realistic it is and for us to have been given the opportunity to buy yet another unique antique and in such amazing condition again felt like a blessing. The former owner, in our view, had gone a little overboard in trying to be the best custodian, because he kept this unique antique in an aquarium-like glass dome. He certainly succeeded, because this carriage cigar holder is in THE best possible condition. The quality in the details and the overal balance of this coach mixed with the warm patina of the antique wood is what makes this aesthetically pleasing antique a real gem to own and to look at. We believe this work of antique craftsmanship is of museum quality and condition and no matter where you decide to have it on display, this work of art will never fail to impress. In all honesty who would not be impressed (and amused) when being offered a cigar that is in the door of a large, handcrafted, 19th century model carriage...Category
