Antique glass globe 47.5 cm high 18 cm diameter French find

Old handmade blown glass bell with its original matching black wooden base. There is a groove in the base to place the glass dome. The dome has a brown paper edge. This has been added over time to hide small splinters that may occur during the cutting process and ensures security when you place your dome on your wooden base, with the edge acting as a cushion.

In the 19th century, more precisely in the victorian era, it was made with other types of less pure materials. This is reflected in unique details such as light bubbles and small imperfections in the glass, which give the dome more character and style. We buy all the domes ourselves in europe, mainly in france. When the domes arrive, we start by washing them, then we treat the base against woodworm and check the stability of the base. So that the foot does not wobble on your surface. At the time when domes were often placed on the chimney, the base experienced different conditions, cold in summer and warm in winter.
