The Grand Scale: Why Size Matters

When it comes to world globes, size is not just about aesthetics—it is about information. A standard 12-inch globe can only hold so much text before it becomes cluttered. By stepping up to a 20-inch, 32-inch, or even 40-inch diameter, you unlock a level of cartographic detail that smaller models simply cannot replicate.

The "Diplomat" Standard Our large-format collection features globes that are often hand-crafted using traditional paper gores applied to a massive fiberboard or acrylic sphere.

  • Unrivaled Legibility: These globes display over 20,000 place names, including small villages, shipping routes, and detailed physical topography that would be invisible on a standard map.
  • Furniture Grade: These are not just educational tools; they are substantial furniture pieces. Mounted in solid walnut, cherry, or mahogany cradles, they are designed to anchor a room, whether it’s a corporate boardroom, a university library, or a private study.
  • Hand-Finished: Many models in this size range feature hand-applied maps and illumination, creating a warm, sophisticated glow that changes the atmosphere of the entire room.

Frequently Asked Questions: Size & Logistics

Find answers to common questions about our products and services.

Generally, yes. A standard interior doorway is 30 to 32 inches wide. However, many of our large globes (like the 32-inch models) sit in a cradle that is wider than the sphere. These units often require minor assembly (placing the ball into the stand) or have detachable legs, allowing them to pass through standard doors easily.

The surface area difference is massive. A 20-inch globe has nearly three times the surface area of a 12-inch model. This allows for significantly larger font sizes and thousands more labels, making it the preferred choice for those with failing eyesight or a love for deep geography.

Due to their size and weight, our largest globes (32-inch and 40-inch) usually ship via freight carrier on a pallet to ensure they arrive safely. Our team will coordinate the delivery details with you.

Yes. Large format globes are frequently purchased for hotel lobbies, libraries, and corporate offices because their sheer size commands attention and serves as a natural gathering point.
