The most common type of globe, table globes typically have been manufactured in sizes ranging from six to 12 inches in diameter, with some as large as 15 or 18 inches. They are mounted on a stand which can be set upon a table or desk. Table globe stands reflect popular furniture design styles and come in a wide variety of materials and designs -- with or without meridians, from simple turn stands with a baluster standard to more elaborate tripod or four-legged stand. Wooden stands are typical in antique globes, although American globe makers sometimes employed cast iron.
