Pocket globe London, between 1775 and 1798 Re-edition of the globe of Hermann Moll (1678-1732) dated 1719 The globe is contained in its original case, which itself is covered in shark skin. There are slight gaps in the original paint on the sphere. The case no longer closes. The sphere measures 2.7 in (7 cm) in diameter whereas the case measures 2.9 in (7.4 cm) in diameter. lb 0.22 (kg 0.1) The globe is made up of twelve printed paper gores aligned and glued to the sphere. In the North Pacific Ocean there is a cartouche with the inscription: A Correct Globe with the new Discoveries. The celestial globe is depicted on the inside of the box and is divided into two hemispheres with the cartouche: A correct globe with ye new cons relations of Dr. Halley & c. It shows the ecliptic divided into the days of the zodiacal calendar and the constellations represented as animals and mythological figures. On the globe are delineated the equinoctial line, divided by degrees and hours, the ecliptic and the meridian (passing west of Greenwich). The continents are shaded and outlined in pink, green and yellow. It shows: the Cook routes; a wind rose in the Southern Indian Ocean; Antarctica without land; Africa with Negroland (Hermann Moll is considered the first geographer to name the West African region in his 1727 map. (Encyclopaedia Britannica, ed. 1902, under "States of Central Africa"); Tartary in Central Asia; the Mogul kingdom in northern India; in North America only New England, Virginia, Carolina, Florida, Mississippi are identified; California is already a peninsula; the northwest coast of America is "unknown parts" (Alaska is not described and it is only partially delineated, it was to become part of the United States in 1867); Mexico is named "Spain"; Central South America "Amazone America". Australia (which was to be so named after 1829) is called New Holland. The route of Admiral Anson is traced (1740) and the trade winds are indicated by arrows. (See Van der Krogt, P., Old Globes in the Netherlands, Utrecht 1984, p. 146 and Van der Krogt, P. - Dekker, E., Globes from the Western World, London 1993, pp. 115.) Elly Dekker, comparing Moll’s 1719 globe and his re-edition (of which the one described above is a sample), identifies the differences between them: the two editions are quite similar to each other, but in the "anonymous" globe, compared to the previous globe of 1719, California looks like a proper peninsula - the reports of the Spanish explorers of the region had given rise to uncertainty over whether it was connected to the mainland or not. The geographical nature of California was confirmed after the explorations of Juan Bautista de Anza (1774-1776). The routes of Dampier's journey were partially erased and the route of Captain James Cook's first voyage was superimposed on them, and the geography of Australasia was adapted accordingly, including the denomination of the Cook Strait. See Dekker, Elly, Globes at Greenwich, 1999. An important ante quem element is represented by Tasmania: it is not separated from Australia by the Bass Strait...

This 19th-century antique Italian celestial globe on a turned wood floor stand is a captivating decorative statement piece, blending early astronomy charm with a rare historical gravitas and a distinct Grand Tour aesthetic. Dating to the first half of the 1800s, this standing constellation sphere features entirely hand-painted paper gores over a gesso core, supported by a beautifully crafted solid hardwood tripod base. It represents an exceptional acquisition for interior designers and discerning collectors seeking an authentic conversational antique with an understated, historic palazzo character and Wunderkammer appeal.  Aristocratic Provenance & Tuscan Estate Heritage Lineage This exceptional library globe comes with an immaculate heritage, sourced directly from a historic private villa in Tuscany, Italy. It belongs to a prestigious noble family collection that has remained untouched for generations and is now being unveiled to the open market for the very first time. Its fresh-to-the-market status and pristine country-house provenance make it a highly desirable find for connoisseurs looking for authentic, untouched Italian history.  Astrological Artistry & Symbolism The star globe’s surface features hand-applied paper gores over a finely shaped gesso core, entirely hand-painted with tempera natural pigments illustrating the allegorical figures of the classical zodiac alongside other whimsical constellations. The globe acts as a visual map of the ancient night sky, coded according to ancient astrological planet governors including Leo, Scorpio, and Cancer.  A detail of supreme interest for collectors of early scientific instruments is the deliberate, sophisticated use of historical mineral pigments:  Cancer:Rendered in deep blue tones, symbolizing the Water element and its ruling celestial body, the Moon. Scorpio: Clothed in vivid, intense Mars red, honoring its ancient planetary ruler historically associated with fire and cosmic strength. The sphere is housed within a fully articulated iron meridian ring, which allows the globe to be adjusted for inclination and smoothly rotated on its own axis, preserving its full original mechanical functionality. As visible in the photographs, the paper gores display a gorgeous, authentic aged patina with honest signs of time, micro-flaking, and light wear that beautifully underscore its two centuries of history without affecting its structural stability. The sphere rests inside a deep walnut-toned horizon ring, supported by a masterfully turned central pillar and an elegant X-frame stretcher base. This specific format of library globe was highly coveted during the Grand Tour era, serving as both an intellectual tool and a sophisticated emblem of worldly travel for European aristocrats returning from their Italian journeys.  The Divine Perspective: The Mirror-Image Cosmocentric Geometry What elevates this specific sphere from a mere decorative object to an extraordinary artifact of early cosmological philosophy is the deliberate, sophisticated layout of its cartography. To the modern eye, the positioning of the constellations follows a deeply fascinating, counter-intuitive logic: the Taurus appears to the right of Cancer, while Sagittarius sits to the upper left of Capricorn. Far from being an artistic caprice, this layout strictly adheres to the ancient rules of "cosmocentric" cartography. Historically, celestial globes were designed to show the universe from a "divine perspective"—looking down at the heavens from the outside, rather than looking up from the Earth. This creates a brilliant mirror-image effect where the traditional East-West orientation of the night sky is flipped. Furthermore, the sweeping, sinuous body of the Hydra (the water serpent) winding its way toward the lower southern pole accurately mirrors the strict coordinate calculations of 17th and 18th-century star catalogues. This hidden layer of mathematical and philosophical history transforms the globe into an exceptional conversational centerpiece, bridging the gap between artistic imagination and the rigid geometry of Renaissance astronomy. Materials & Craftsmanship The monumental sphere is supported by a refined, masterfully turned tripod base crafted from solid elm wood. Elm was highly prized in traditional Italian cabinetmaking for its exceptional stability, resistance, and beautifully dramatic grain patterns. Originating from the scientific traditions of ancient Greece and elevated by the 17th-century cartographic workshops of Flanders, this 1800s Italian interpretation perfectly embodies the transition from a navigation tool to a symbol of intellectual curiosity and elite interior styling.  Condition Report & Structural Integrity *Overall State: In excellent, stable antique condition. The solid wood tripod stand is robust, structurally sound, and perfectly balanced. *Surface Patina: The hand-painted paper gores show a gorgeous, authentic age-formed patina and fine network of craquelure, displaying honest wear consistent with its 19th-century origin while remaining completely stable, intact, and well-fixed to the gesso base. Interior Design & Placement Concepts Thanks to its imposing silhouette and rich, warm wood tones, this antique floor globe...
