A Pair of English 9-Inch Terrestrial and Celestial Table Globes by Wm. Bardin

About the Item

A fine pair of English 9" terrestrial and celestial globes, each with engraved meridian rings, resting in mahogany stands with turned stretchers, both signed by the maker Wm. Bardin and dated 1783 and 1785 respectively. The Bardin family was one of the foremost British globemakers of the late eighteenth to early nineteenth centuries. The firm was established in London by William Bardin (1740-1803) around 1780. The celestial sphere has beautifully rendered depictions of the galaxies. The terrestrial globe accurately depicts the world as known in the late 18th century. These beautiful globes are in very attractive restored condition and would make a great and interesting addition to any home library or reading room. Provenance: the estate of a well known Bay Area financier.
