(via) Englishman Peter Bellerby and his artisan crew at Bellerby & Co. Globemakers sure make some fine-looking, hand-crafted globes! That 1.5m high sphere that the woman above is painting with Sennelier watercolour pigments is called “The Churchill”. It’s made of hand-finished cast aluminium and it costs £54,000. “I have no interest in doing this to make a product that we can sell to someone who we can mug,” Belleryby says. “I want to sell something that is really good that people appreciate.” Make sure you watch the mesmerizing short film about the Bellerby and his teams’ process. Fascinating.
