About the Item

A wonderful and most rare pair of English early 19th century Regency Period patinated Oak and Brass Celestial and Terrestrial globes, signed G. & J. Cary, 1813. Each wonderfully detailed table top globe is raised on a handsome patinated black/brown base with four turned legs joined at the center by a X shaped stretcher. At the center of the stretcher is a delicate Brass final and wheel, which holds the Meridian Ring supports for the globes, allowing them not only rotate, but also tilt. The Brass supports lead from the South Pole and intersect a flat border called the Horizon Ring, which represents the observer's horizon. These flat Horizon Rings display compass direction, hours, zodiac signs and calendar months. One globe is dedicated to the observation of the earth, while the other showcases 88 constellations of the stars. The Brass Meridian Rings lead up to the North Poles which display wonderfully detailed and richly chased mounts showcasing the hours in Roman Numerals. All original rich and warm patination throughout. G. & J. Cary was a leading London firm of cartographers and globe makers active in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, founded by George Cary and later operated with his sons. Renowned for their exceptional accuracy and refined engraving, Cary globes and maps were widely used by scientists, navigators, and educated households during the Georgian and early Regency periods and remain among the most respected English globes of their era.
