Weber Costello 1920s Hanging Globe (Pewter Finish Hooks)

This reproduction Weber Costello 1920s world globe is brand new and is very skillfully made. It measures 12.60” overall diameter.

This Weber Costello & Co. Globe is made of copperplate printed gores (specially shaped map sections) modeled after the actual 19th Century original cartographer’s globe. The gores are cut and applied by hand on papier-mache globe spheres. The globe is meticulously handcrafted using the complicated ‘gravure’ printing process that results in the sharpest details, lines and symbols.

The beautiful globe hangs from hand turned and polished pewter finished hooks that allow you to adjust the height of the globe from the ceiling (3 hooks are included, please right click on instructions image below and select "open image in new tab"). All hardware is made of aluminum with a polished pewter finish.

Weber Costello & Co. acquired the A. H. Andrews & Co. globe business in 1896. The firm became Weber Costello in 1909 based in Chicago. The firm boasted in 1922: “The manufacture of globes requires skilled, experienced workmen and the most accurate machinery. We have for this work the largest and best-appointed establishment in the world. We have had forty-one years’ experience in globe manufacture. There are no globes made anywhere, by anyone, that equal our product.” They were a huge supplier of school globes and sold a large variety of globes from around 1907 to the early 1970s. The firm went to say that their globe maps were “made by the greatest map makers in the world, G. W. Bacon & Co., London, England, and W. & A. K. Johnston, Edinburg, Scotland.

This beautiful Weber Costello & Co. 1920s world globe is sure to become a conversational addition to your nautical hanging decor.
