Globes & Maps

"You mean the world to me" sounds lovely in a card. It sounds even better painted on a tiny porcelain globe. This collection is for the geography buff, the retiree with a travel bucket list, the teacher who still loves a pull-down map, and the sweetheart who has crossed oceans to be with you. A globe on the desk is a daily invitation to dream, and it is a lot more interesting than a paperweight.

Continents, Compasses and a Little Bar Cart

Look for elegant world globes on stands, one that spins, and one with a pair of binoculars ready for a lookout. Maps cover an adventure suitcase and a France map dotted with the Eiffel Tower and a nod to the Impressionists. A map votive light brings a warm glow to a desk or bookshelf. The globe bar is a crowd favorite: open the world to find wine glasses tucked inside, the way grand old studies did it. A pair of lions even hold up the whole planet. Every piece is hand-painted in France and arrives gift-boxed.

Mapping a Collection

Globe collectors love the scholarly look of a little study. Arrange a globe, a map, and a stack of leather-bound books on a desk or bookcase, and the room instantly feels well traveled. A globe bar beside the real bar cart is a witty touch. Travelers can pair each globe with a framed ticket stub or postcard. Because the shapes are round and the colors deep, they also balance out busier displays of florals and figurines beautifully.
