A Certain Vision of The World
One of a kind, fascinating and exquisite, HB Globes are highly prized by collectors and connoisseurs alike. Each globe is an astonishing, unique work of art; hand carved from teak root bowls and finished to the highest standards.
HB Globes are available through Art Fairs and Art Galleries in Europe and America and directly from us.
Each of our globes come with a Certificate of Authenticity printed on textured, recycled paper, wax sealed with our logo and tied with a Balinese three colour woven Tridatu Bracelet. They are then packed in a snug-fitting, custom wooden box with the details of your globe printed on the sides.
Our wooden plywood packing cases ensure the safety of your globe and meet all the correct airfreight specifications and standards.
Luxury Flight / Presentation Cases are also available for an additional charge.
About
Globes
Teak root bowls, which are normally discarded as part of the logging process, are selected by HB Globes based on their form and density. The root bowls are initially shaped until they are roughly spherical and hollowed out to facilitate thorough drying in our custom-made ovens. This process, which can last up to several months, gives each globe its robust stability and longevity; as wood never truly ‘dies’.
The globes are then hand carved into a borderless representation of our planet before progressing through up to a dozen proprietary processes including many rounds of polishing and the application of special decorations and finishes.
These are heirloom pieces which are guaranteed to last forever.
