Collecting
Collector's Corner

In bygone days, large globes were commissioned by royals and noblemen for their libraries.


“Most globes today sell to people with antique furniture. Buyers tend not to be systematic, as they are with atlases. They purchase a pair, and they are finished.”


George Glazer, specialist antiquarian globe dealer.

Antique world map
Although there has historically been a demand for map & atlases that exceeds supply, causing substantial increases in value, there is no guarantee that this will be the case in the future. Demand for map & atlases of a particular area or type may be affected by regional or world trends and tastes.
