LC017 Steamer Tote Bag
When the wind increased in force, the crew was sent up the mast, running up the rope ladders called ‘shrouds’ Half hanging over the long yards, balancing precariously high above a pitching and rolling deck, they hauled the mass of canvas up to secure it, or to lay a reef. A windjammer was described by the square yards of ‘canvas’ it carried. Canvas was what served the ship as sails, as tarps, and scraps of canvas were sewn by sailors into duffel bags. Our leather handled tote bag is printed with compass rose designs and old steamer drawings. It will last forever, made from the original ‘canvas’ as it was made a hundred years ago.H. 66cm, 26".

GL017 Armillary Sphere
Renaissance scientists liked to have their portrait painted with one hand on a Ptolemaic or Copernican armillary sphere, the epitome of wisdom and knowledge. The difference between the two world systems was that one used the Earth as the center of the Universe, while the other used the Sun. At that time people were burned at the stake for professing opinions about the universe. Basically a model of the universe as it was then known, the sphere is composed of connected rings linking the poles and representing the equator and the ecliptic. Intricately assembled from bronze and wood parts, the armillary sphere is a classical desk ornament for the broad and cultured of mind.H. 28cm, 11". W. 18cm, 7".
