Orrerymaker, Globemaker and Antique Scientific Instruments Restorer.

 

Exclusive handcrafted planetariums

in brass and wood.

 

Terrestrial and celestial globes

Meticulously handcrafted using traditional techniques.

Our traditional globes are authentic, timeless works of art, meticulously handcrafted in our workshop using 18th-century techniques.

 

 

 

Utilizing the ancestral plaster-on-papier-mâché method, every single piece—from the initial making of the seamless sphere to the final brushstroke—is a unique tribute to cartographic history and scientific precision.

Each globe is mounted on our own hand-turned wooden bases, available in Oak, African Mahogany, or a Ebonized finish.

They are engineered to provide a smooth, flawless, and omnidirectional rotation.
