AM is the renown leader in antique globes. No other company in the world offers authentic reproductions of similar quality and affordability. Attention to detail is key. AM replicates the complicated ‘gravure’ printing process, resulting in the sharpest lines, words, and symbols even on the smallest size globe. Centuries ago globes were made by gluing copperplate printed gores on a plaster finished papier-mâché core. This application method continues at AM. All AM globes are made using original charts, researched by AM for their historical accuracy and visual appeal. Our globes offer history at your fingertips and highlight some of the world’s most famous cartographers: Mercator, Hondius, and Vaugondy.

See the world through the eyes of explorers and navigators centuries ago. Walk the streets of Rome or Paris in the 17th and 18th centuries. Our globes and maps offer visual history, make
adventure and exploration real. Encompassing some of the best feats of cartography, AM strives to offer high quality replicas that combine distinct historical provenance with a contemporary interest in unique and interesting décor.

No Renaissance library, reception room, or merchant’s office was complete without a large globe on a stand. Mapmakers and globe publishers issued new globes every year, keeping clients up to date on the latest discoveries and explorations. New trade routes, new ports of call… even new continents! Our 32 cm (12.5”) globe with floor stand is the classical form used over the centuries.
