The Authentic Models Renaissance Vaugondy 12-Inch Diameter Floor Globe supported on a sleek and simple hand-forged wrought iron floor stand puts on display the work of the Kings' own cartographers. Gilles Robert De Vaugondy and his son Didier traditionally did not use their first names or first initials when signing the maps and globes they created in the 18th century. Despite problems historians might have had distinguishing the fathers work from the sons most agree that the two men's work as royal cartographers for the kings of France stands as a significant contribution from the French Enlightenment period. Distinctive in its pale blue ocean tone this globe will make a handsome addition to any home or office.
