Description
Pair of celestial and terrestrial table globes, wooden globe covered with engraved and enhanced paper spindles. Bronze mounts with two rings featuring a horizon table engraved with a zodiac scale and a calendar scale, and a twisted column base.
Spindles: Italy, Venice, Vincenzo Coronelli, 1697
Provenance: Former Pierre Samuel Du Pont de Nemours (1870-1954) collection, purchased in 1920 in London according to family tradition. Former Belin collection at Evermay Estate, Washington DC District.
Inscriptions: Auctore / P. / Cosmographo / Coronelli / Venetijs / 1697 in a cartouche below Australia and Illustris: / D. D. / Ant de V. Comitib, / G. P. / N Comi in a shield next to the Eridan.
An identical pair is preserved in the Musée du Louvre collections and comes from the Nicolas Landau collection (inv n° OA 10683 A and B). The spindles are taken from the Libro dei globi (an atlas published by Coronelli in 1697), but mounted on the globes at a later date.
A second identical pair, signed Willem Jansz Blaue and dated 1616, is in the collections of The Hispanic Society of America in New York.
Vincenzo Coronelli, a Franciscan Friar Minor from the convent of San Niccolo della Lattuca, was born in Venice in 1650 and died in 1718. A doctor of theology but also a scientist, he taught at the Collège Saint-Bonaventure in Rome, and at the same time pursued a career as a geographer, publishing over 400 geographical maps, updated thanks to the information he collected from navigators and missionaries. He perfected the manufacture of terrestrial globes, from the most modest to the largest. After creating two 1.75 m-diameter globes for the Duke of Parma in 1678, it was the turn of Cardinal d'Estrées, Louis XIV's ambassador to the Court of Rome, to ask him to make two even larger globes for the King of France. Unable to transport such works, Coronelli produced them in Paris, where he stayed for two years (1681-1683), entrusting the painted illustration to Jean-Baptiste Corneille. These globes are held by the Bibliothèque nationale (inv n° Ge A 499 500). From 1696 onwards, he spent two years in Germany, Holland and England, where he was admitted to Oxford University in 1697.

Our Terms of sale were designed to treat both Customers and Vendors (including Professional Vendors and Non-Professional Vendors (as defined in the Site Terms)) fairly, in order to make the shopping/selling experience with Vinterior just as exceptional as the items.
To protect our Customers from disappointment or the unexpected, we strongly encourage them to closely inspect item photos, descriptions, and details before purchasing anything on the Site, and then again upon delivery or pickup.
If the Customer is unsure about an item's condition, dimensions, quantity, or description, they can send their questions to the item's Vendor by clicking on Ask the seller on the listing page of the Site.
Customers shall receive the same level of consumer protection on purchases irrespective of whether they are buying from a Professional Vendor or Non-Professional Vendor.
Should you have any questions regarding your transaction, please contact the Vendor in the first instance.
Can I cancel an order?
If a Customer changes their mind or decides for any other reason not to purchase the Goods before they have been dispatched, they can cancel the order on the Site and receive a refund.
The right to cancel does not apply to the following types of goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke, or made-to-order according to the customer's specific requirements. If in doubt, the Customer can contact the Vendor via the Site.
If the Customer cancels an order after an item has already been marked as dispatched for delivery, the delivery costs are non-refundable.
To cancel the order, the Customer must follow the cancellation procedure on the Site by clicking on Create Cancellation on the order page.
Can I return an item?
At Vinterior, we understand that sometimes a piece may not be the perfect fit once it's in your home. That's why we offer a 14-day return policy, allowing you to return any item within 14 days from the date of delivery for any reason.
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund or to have the issue fixed when possible.

Types of returns and responsibilities
Change of mind return
Consumers can return the goods due to a change of mind. Once a return is requested, the buyer is in charge of shipping the goods back to the seller and should organise it as soon as possible. Shipment costs to and from buyers are non-refundable.
Item not fit for purpose
Acting under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, customers may return faulty Goods that are damaged or the listing on the Site is materially inaccurate, misleading, or misrepresents the Goods. In these cases, the Customer must provide photographic evidence to Vinterior and the Vendor or reject the delivery on arrival.
Damage in transit
Vinterior must be informed of any damage in transit. If Proovia delivered the items, Vinterior will then raise an insurance claim on behalf of the Vendor with the delivery company. If the seller organised a delivery, they would be asked to raise a claim with their courier. Once the claim is resolved and any relevant decision regarding the insurance has been made, any applicable refunds will be processed.
How to request a return
To initiate a return the customer needs to log in to their Vinterior account and click Create a return on the order page. In the return request, the reason for the return must be included along with photos of any damage of the Goods, if faulty.
How you will be refunded?
Once the item is returned to the Vendor in the same condition, the Vendor will confirm receipt of the item, and Vinterior will refund the original payment method.
If an item is returned to the seller damaged or in an unsuitable condition, Vinterior will not be able to process the refund, and the seller may have to send it back (and ask you to cover the delivery costs). All items are inspected on return.
What can't be returned?
As with cancellations, the right to return an item does not apply to the following types of Goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to the Customer's specific requirements.
Please note that vintage items are not sold as new and are likely to show signs of wear and tear. This is not sufficient grounds for a refund.
Vendors may refuse a return of an item if the Customer has altered it in any way.
Neither Vinterior nor the Vendors are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
