Brass hinges and scarabs are embedded in the poured concrete floor. The bathroom is straight out of a trompe-l’oeil painting–dripping with ephemera and wallpapered with ancient letters. Then there are the globes. A whole universe of them. “American globes are my specialty,” says Glazer, who’s helping a client build the greatest collection of them in the country. Glazer has globes that come apart as a puzzle. globess that call India Hindoostan and Oklahoma Indian territory.\u00a0“There are no major globe experts, except for one woman at the Smithsonian Institution who specializes in celestial charts,” Glazer remarks. “We’ve never met, but I have a correspondence with her.”<\/em><\/p>\n
… Like a rare-books dealer, he sends out catalogues, but his are embroidered with quotes from the likes of Raiders of the Lost Ark as well as Seneca. “Whoever did that movie understood this whole thing,” says Glazer. “That movie is about the history of man.

There are Dutch prints worthy of an old-master portfolio, but also a kitschy photomontage of “Women Bankers of the United States” from the late nineteenth century. Of course, almost all of the women were cashiers. (“But it’s rare as hell,” says Glazer.)<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
