When I went to Round Top Antique Fair this past fall, I noticed several vendors with an assortment of old globes.
These ordinary, standard globes set upon a shelf in a father’s study or a kid’s bedroom can be transformed from a useful object into a unique collectible.
Amassed on a shelf or tabletop in varying sizes and colors, a collection of globes can create a really beautiful display.
I think they work really well as decor placed on top of of a cabinet. (Yikes, I can't believe I said that!) Or I love the mini-globes, without their pedestals, when tossed into a large bowl.
Today I’ve collected some beauties for you to get your hands on. These are all new, but vintage is great if you are a vintage shopper. Start that globe collection for yourself, today!
