How to buy a globe

Please start the process by simply placing an order directly through our website. This is a generic 50% deposit based on your chosen size – and the balance will reflect your final choice of colour, base, and optional added personalisation. We will be in touch shortly thereafter to confirm your order and let you know the next steps.

You are welcome to call or studio or email Jade at jade@bellerbyglobemakers.com to discuss the options and any questions you might have ahead of an order as well. If you prefer to make payment over the phone or be invoiced via email that is of course fine as well.

Personalising your globe

With each globe made bespoke to order we can personalise in endless ways. This can be bespoke cartography, travel routes or hand drawn and hand painted illustrations. This is a process we will guide you through and explain in detail. Some styles of bases also include an engraving which is the perfect place for names, dates, or short sentiments.

More Information

This listing is for a handcrafted and hand painted rotational globe paired with a handmade solid Brass base. The name Albion refers to the base style – a thin sleek modern design allowing a 360 degree spin in a fluid motion by hand on an innovative roller bearing mechanism. This listing is for 22cm diameter globes. Get in touch for larger sizing. This base looks great paired with any colour globe.

Included in the commission of the 22cm sizing are 10 text based edits as well as a personalised engraving. For a small additional cost you can add further text edits, travel routes and detail like hand drawn and hand painted illustrations.

Please email info@bellerbyglobemakers.com to receive more photos, base and colour options as well as to discuss personalisation and shipping estimates.

Each globe is made bespoke to order so we are usually working many months ahead with a full diary. For short time frames ask us about our gift card options (linked) or see the ‘Quick Delivery Options’ (linked).

Each globe is one of a kind and unique, watercolours are hand mixed meaning your globe will not be identical to any in the listing but just as beautiful!

Illustrations in website images are examples of the endless things that can be done to the map. We will be in touch to begin the process of you designing the globe exactly as you would like it.
