This elegant 12-inch (30 cm) globe features Replogle’s signature antique-style map, rich with earth-toned colours that evoke the golden age of exploration. Its traditional styling is enhanced by the solid hardwood base, stained in warm walnut tones, which offers a timeless look that seamlessly complements both modern and heritage interiors. The warmth of the wood perfectly accentuates the subtle palette of the globe, creating a piece that is as decorative as it is informative.

Outstanding Features:

1. Antique Cartography with Hand-Applied Mapping
The globe displays over 4,000 place names, including countries, cities, mountain ranges, oceans, and major landmarks, all rendered in an elegant serif typeface that enhances legibility and period charm. The map is hand-applied by skilled artisans, ensuring a premium finish with exceptional attention to detail.

2. Raised Relief for Topographical Accuracy
Mountain ranges and major landforms are brought to life with raised relief, allowing you to feel the Earth’s surface contours. This tactile feature adds a unique dimension to the globe—particularly valuable for educational purposes and geographic curiosity.

3. Historical and Nautical Detail
In addition to political and physical information, the Hastings Globe includes illustrations of historic sailing ships, alongside annotated exploration routes of early navigators such as Magellan and Cook. It also displays merchant shipping routes and point-to-point distances, giving it a nautical and historical flavour that sets it apart from more conventional globes.

4. Precision Die-Cast Meridian
The globe is held by a high-quality die-cast semi-meridian finished in a classic brass tone. Not only does it provide structural integrity, but it also features engraved degree markings, allowing you to easily read latitude measurements—making it a functional tool as well as a decorative object.

5. Durable Construction for Long-Term Enjoyment
The globe is securely bolted into the base, ensuring that it remains steady during rotation and use. This high level of build quality ensures that the Hastings Globe is built to last, providing decades of enjoyment, education, and inspiration.
