A customer who already owned a 36cm globe asked for this Whittaker base (usually paired with a 50cm globe) to be adapted for his smaller globe. Shown here with a few different colours. The globe spins 360 degrees in a fluid motion by hand and can be easily lifted from the base.
This 127cm (50 inch) diameter globe is cradled in a handcrafted Oak or Walnut base and available is a variety of styles and finishes. It sits within a huge hand-engraved brass meridian and has deep horizon bands around the table.
The deep hues are created with many watercolour washes painted by hand in our London studio. A truly individual product, exuding quality craftsmanship and skill, the Churchill would not look out of place in a grand home or workspace.
As with all Bellerby globes, each one can be individually tailored to suit taste and requirements.
Only 40 globes will be made in this Churchill series.
Bespoke colouring – a take on our Cassini – usually seen with Mint, Glacial or Ochre oceans – here with a nice light variation of Sea Green. Hand drawn and hand painted illustrations have been added – illustrations are by Mark Utterson.
The illustrations here are slightly larger then we normally do – we equally like and encourage this sizing! Some customers choose smaller illustrations so they are more discreet – something to find when looking closely. Others choose to make illustrations larger features on their globe.
