Pair of Terrestrial and Celestial Table Globes By Newton

Newton and Son, Chancery Lane London

This is an excellent pair of mid-19th Century English desk globes, celestial and terrestrial, by the makers Newton of London. Their clear coloration and delineated heavenly characters and earthly geography are outstanding to view. They are such a fine matched presentation that they are amongst the very best we've seen. The terrestrial globe is dated 1847, while the celestial is labeled to indicate it's a bit earlier.

Set in turned wood cradles of ebony with four legs and well defined brass meridians, the globes are clearly marked with numerous references to the importance of London and Greenwich as the center of the navigate-able world.
