Antique glass globe black foot 29 x 12.5 cm

Antique hand-blown glass dome with its original black wooden base. There is a groove in the base for the glass dome to sit in and therefore fits perfectly. 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 off with a little water. The dome is made manually back then, so the glass is not as clear and "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 illuminated bells, minor imperfections in the glass, which gives the dome more character and style. Look at the photos that are part of this description. We purchase all of the domes ourselves in europe, mainly in france. Where they most often drew attention to the fireplace. 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. The dimensions are taken from the inside of the glass, therefore from the usable space. So you can decorate your objects without dust underneath.
