An authentic 1950s Philips’ Challenge Globe offering a captivating glimpse into post-war geography and mid-century design.

This vintage globe is mounted on a beautifully shaped three-footed teak stand with a central turned column and a silvered half-meridian mount, combining functionality with display-worthy charm.

Produced by George Philip & Son Ltd – a prestigious British cartographic company – this edition features pale green oceans, bold typography, and clearly marked countries as they were known in the early Cold War era.

The globe itself shows the signs of a well-travelled past, with some wear to the lower map surface and toning consistent with age, adding to its authentic character.
