A large collection of various sized Napoleon III ebonised wood and hand blown glass domes, called Globe de Mariée. Originally these Globes would have contained and preserved a display of wedding souvenirs (the tradition started in the 1800’s).
These globes are now very popular to hold collections such as taxidermy or anything you wish to display and protect in a dome. The glass is hand blown and is very fragile so getting them all here in one piece was a feat in itself. The larger ones are very hard to find.
As there are so many globes to choose from please enquire regarding prices as they range dependent on size (N.B. Prices start from $460.00).
DUE TO THE FRAGILE NATURE OF THESE DOMES, WE CANNOT SHIP OUTSIDE OF NEW ZEALAND. THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING
