George Glazer Gallery

Specialties

Antique globes, maps, prints and art. Located on Manhattan’s Upper East Side since 1993, the George Glazer Gallery’s unusual ambiance reflects its owner — scholarly and intellectual with an eye for the decorative and a sense of humor that revels in the offbeat. This interesting combination has attracted the attention of the antiques and home decorating press. We are the world’s leading gallery for antique globes. We have 1000s of items on our web site and more in stock, including a large assortment of pictorial maps, New York City and Long Island maps, celestials, natural history and botanical prints, architecturals, views and gavels. We also assist with framing and mounting, prop rental, decorating and gift selection. We work with some of the world’s leading interior design firms and offer guidance to customers looking for something to fit their own décor. We sell to historic houses and museums as well as private collectors.
