I love traveling and live with an acute case of wanderlust almost every day. These handmade globes from Bellerby & Co may be just the thing I need to cure my wandering tendencies. I can just picture myself sitting in my study imagining all of the wonderful places that have been hand-layed on to the plaster sphere and then lovingly painted. Perhaps that would not be the best thing for wanderlust, but it would be enjoyable nonetheless.
The brass fittings are cast in their in-house forge (I think Rowley Press needs a forge…) and the wood is turned in a London woodshop that uses lathes powered by leather straps. Not sure where the leather straps get their power, but it sounds good enough for me. Unfortunately, only 100 were made, but they have more ideas on the way, so hopefully they will send me one or two for Christmas.
