| Jan Felkl & Sons Large Geared Tellurian 19th century .The crank mechanism operates a gear box through the center of a revolving tubular arm with curved decorative bracket support. The cast-iron base has at one end a small oil lamp representing the sun and a mirrored concave reflector on an adjustable rod to cast the light from the lamp upon the moon and earth.The mechanism works fine.Unfortunately the set eart/moon and zodiac plate missing . More info from “georgeglazer” : J. Felkl & Son 19th and 20th Century Prague, Roztok and Vienna In the late 19th Century, the Prague firm of J. Felkl and Son became the leading European globe maker, producing a variety of globes for export throughout Europe and to the United States. These globes were produced primarily for use in schools and institutions, but also for home libraries. Jan Felkl was born in Bohemia in the early 19th Century. As early as 1855, Felkl offered an illustrated prospectus for globes in six various sizes. Within the next 20 years, Felkl rose to be the largest globe manufacturer within the Austro-Hungarian market, producing terrestrial and celestial globes in 17 languages, as well as lunar globes, planetaria, telluria, lunaria and induction globes. Felkl exhibited his globes the world exhibitions of 1867 in Paris and 1873 in Vienna. Felkl’s early globes were produced by engraving and hand coloring the gores. Greater production, estimated at 15,000 globes per year in 1873 was made possible with the development of lithography. Felkl founded his own “geographic lithographic institute” in Prague to produce globe gores and maps. One of the best known authors of the German Felkl globes was the Leipzig cartographer Otto Delitsch, who developed the idea of brown color tone graduation of height. In 1870, Felkl moved his factory from Prague to Roztok and took his youngest son Christoph Zikmund as partner in his firm, renamed Felkl & Son. They employed up to 40 people and opened branches in Prague and Vienna. After the death of Jan Felkl in 1887, the firm was continued by the Felkl family until the mid 20th Century. |

World Globe Vintage German Bauhaus Modernist Cold War

A masculine Cold War Artifact The masculine, yet refined mount makes this 1950s political globe a beautiful Gentleman’s piece. The solid oak base and meridian are a classic Bauhaus Design. Minimalistic, almost monochromic in style yet warm by choosing wood as the mount material. The Bauhaus Style, of which the Modernist and Machine Age movement was born, emerged in the early 1900’s in Berlin (later Weimar Bauhaus School of Design) and lasted several decades. As matter of fact, the style has once again regained immense popularity. This model is quite an interesting Cold War Relic. The map does not show a division of Germany, yet the Globe is identified to be made in the DDR (Deutsche Demokratische Republik), also known as former East Germany. Politically it displays the year of c 1949/50, as Israel is identified, yet Korea not divided. Thus we believe this globe is made in the early 1950s. About the manufacture: Paul Raeth (1881-1929) began to manufacture Globes in 1917 and quickly became one of the most recognized German Globe makers of the early 20th century. One of his largest “Relief globe” at 64 cm diameter can be found in the German Museum of Munich. The company prospered even after Raeth’s death in 1929. Because the manufacture did not leave Leipzig after WW2, it fell to be under Russian control as the city of Leipzig became part of former East Germany. This is a massive globe and will make quite a statement where displayed! Description: The Globe is made of paste board, covered with individual gores of paper representing the legend and calottes covering the poles. The base and meridian is made of solid wood. The numeric display on the meridian is printed on a painted golden background. Diameter of the globe itself is about 14 inches with a total width (incl. meridian and base) of 14.5 inches. Total height is about 16.75 inches. This is a very massive globe. Condition: The Globes is good condition. The political globe has minor wear in form of soiling or scuffmarks and offers a perfectly aged patina. Details are crisp and colors are very rich. The globe does not spin very well; it is rather low on its axis. The wooden base is in very good condition with only a few minor scratch marks. Still has a rich finish. Please see pictures for details. The age of the Globe has been determined by the political borders displayed, which are as follows: Europe: Its post WWII, though Germany is not yet divided into East and West. Berlin is still shown as the capital city, which changed during the occupation of East Germany. Until the Berlin wall came down in 1989, Bonn substituted as the capital city of West Germany. Once East and West Germany re-unified, Berlin, returned to be the capital for the entire German Country. Yugoslavia is shown which since has seized to exist and is divided into several smaller countries. The former USSR (today’s Russia) is still visible with countries like Ukraine and Latvia having been part of it rather than independent nations. Middle East/Asia: Israel has replaced Palestine (1948). The short-lived creation of the United Arab Republic between Syria and Egypt is not yet visible (1958-61). Korea is not shown to be divided (1953). Africa: French West Africa is still visible, which seized to exist in 1960. The Belgian Congo and French Equatorial Africa are also some of the Colonies still visible. Morocco and Tunisia are still shown as colonies, which became independent countries in 1956. Therefore we believe the Globe to be made ca 1950. We describe our Globes to the best of our knowledge and as detailed as possible. It is our goal to ensure the item you obtain from us meets; if not exceeds your expectations! If you are a Globe Enthusiast, please take a look at our other auctions!

An attractive 1925 Rand McNally Table Globe This superb Arts & Craft styled model is a statement of past artisan skills! The map itself has a perfectly aged patina of warm golden land and mellow green oceans. It displays metropolitan centers of the past one can only read of in books today. Constantinople and the Ottoman Empire are visible, as is Persia and the Japanese Empire. This globe documents the results of the Great War (WW1) and the treaty of Versailles. For example, instead of Jugoslavia (or Yugoslavia), the designated area is named: Kingdom of the Serbes-Croates-Slovenes. A jewel to any politically focused globe collection and/or Arts and Craft movement enthusiast. This globe is true piece of history within itself. Even though not perfect, still a superb piece of an era long gone. It is dominant in size and will be quite a conversation starter. About the manufacture: Rand McNally & Co. 1856 (1880 globe production) – current Chicago William Rand opens his first print shop in 1856, hires McNally, an Irish Immigrant, in 1858. In 1868, the two establish a partnership and the name Rand McNally & Co. As a print shop they produce the newspaper for the Chicago Tribune as well as timetables, travel guides and tickets for the fast growing railroad industry. In 1872, the company pioneered cerography, an innovative wax-engraving print technique, enabling to follow world changes in print quickly and more economically. As a result, event though not having made globes themselves until 1880, by the end of the late 1800’s Rand McNally produced globe gores not just for their own models, but for many of the other Chicago Globe makers. Rand McNally is best known for their travel maps but also still produces globes to this day, mainly for the educational market. Description: A plaster sphere with 12 hand applied paper gores is mounted into a cast-iron full meridian. This is placed into a fork which also holds a horizon ring and is attached to a very heavy oak base with classic Arts& Craft / Mission style features. The horizon ring identifies seasons, months and zodiacs. The map has a beautifully aged patina a warm golden coloring. Diameter of the globe is 12 inches, nearly 18 inches when including the horizon ring. Very commanding in size with a total height of 29 inches! Condition: The globe is in good condition for its age. However, there is some rubbing on the map, especially in the northern hemisphere, around and above the cartouche. Alaska and Western Canada has the most damage. Soiling throughout, no cracks. Details crisp, colors warm and rich. The horizon ring has loss of paper throughout, see pictures. The rest of the mount is in very good condition, the base has some scuffing, no cracks or splits. Please see pictures for details. The age of the Globe has been identified by the political borders displayed, which are as follows: Europe: It is the short peaceful period between WW1 and WW2. Leningrad is shown; Christiana has changed to Oslo (chg1924) and is visible in both names. Constantinople instead of Istanbul (chg 1929). Russia is still visible instead of the USSR. Petrograd has changed to Leningrad (1924). The Austrian-Hungarian Empire is no more, instead independent Austria and Hungarian as well as Czechoslovakia is shown. Middle East: Persia is displayed instead of Iran (c1935). Saudi Arabia is displayed as Arabia only (gained independence in 1932). Africa: The following Colonies are visible: Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, Belgian Congo, French West and Equatorial Africa, Tanganyika Territory, French, British and Italian Somaliland, Portuguese East Africa and many more. Australia: Central Australia (1926-31) is not yet visible We describe our Globes to the best of our knowledge and as detailed as possible.
