A Pair Of 15" Library Globes By G & J Cary
A pair of 15" library globes By G & J Cary, dated 1826.
Standing in their original mahogany bases with turned and reeded legs, the globes are in very good and sympathetically restored condition. 980mm high and 510mm diameter.
Born in 1755, in the village of Corley on the borders of Wiltshire and Somerset, John was the second of four sons born to George and Mary Cary. Shortly after his 15th birthday, Cary travelled to London to begin his apprenticeship as a map engraver with William Palmer at his premises in New Street Square.
In 1783, Cary set up his own business as a map seller and engraver, operating from premises at 188 the Strand, London. He quickly earned a glowing reputation, not only for the quality and accuracy of his work, but also for the innovation he brought to his craft.
In 1791, John expanded his business as J & W Cary, going into partnership with younger brother William, who was a gifted maker of scientific instruments, having apprenticed to the celebrated mathematician and instrument maker Jesse Ramsden. No doubt William’s understanding of surveying and measuring instruments proved a significant benefit in the firm’s next project.
Having trained his sons George and John Jr in the business, Cary Snr, now 65, opted to move the business to their premises at 86 St James’s Street. Also handing over the reins of the company which would operate as as G & J Cary until 1850. W J Gravener Antiques is a family owned business, started in 1963 by William who was joined by son, Mark in 1981 and continues today with the same ethos of dealing in fine quality English and Continental furniture, mirrors and decorative objects, from the 18th & 19th centuries. Now under the stewardship of Mark and his wife, Louise, we take pride in maintaining the high standards which William set more than 50 years ago.
