Antique round glass globe 39 cm height 15.5 cm diameter

Antique hand-blown glass dome with its original black wooden base. There is a groove in the base to place the glass dome. The dome has a brown paper border. This has been added over time to hide minor chips that may occur during the cutting process and gives security if you are resting your dome on your wooden base, the edging acts as a cushion. If you don't like the border, it can be easily washed. The dome is made manually at the time, so the glass is not "as perfect" as it can be made today. In the 19th century, specifically in the victorian era, they made it with other types of materials that were not so pure. This is reflected in unique details such as light bells, minor imperfections in the glass, this gives the dome more character and style. We purchase all of the domes ourselves in europe, mainly in france. When the domes come in, we start by washing them, then we place the foot against the woodworm and check the stability of the foot. So that the foot does not wobble on your surface. At the time, domes were often on the fireplace and the base had different circumstances, cold in summer and warm in winter. Wood is a natural product so the foot adapts to the fireplace. The dimensions are taken from the inside of the glass, therefore from the usable space. So you can decorate your objects without dust underneath.
