The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.

The website illustrations are accurate despite being slightly too bright. Overall in good condition for a globe of this age and size, wear and marks consistent with age and use. The stand as catalogued of later, perhaps c.1900, manufacture. The globe re-varnished with some dirt trapped beneath. Usual dents, scratches and wear with slight loss of legibility in places, a drip of black paint in Pacific. Losses to horizon ring. The brass polished by current owners prior to consignment. We recommend viewing for this globe, and can provide further photographs if requested.
