1786 Atlantic Ocean World Map with Mahogany Frame by Authentic Models
Famous antique maps. Hand colored. Hand framed. Our fascination with early cartography knows no bounds. Our globes are made with original printing and manufacturing techniques. The selection covers a wide range of styles, sizes and eras. World and nautical maps have always been popular as wall décor. Wall maps are featured in several famous art works from the Dutch Baroque period. What''s special about our reproduction is the combination of high quality reprints on acid free paper combined with hand coloring in the classic ''aquarelle'' technique. Edges, shades, wash, every color except black, is truly hand applied. Some maps take days to color. They will not discolor as mechanically reproduced maps do. Such maps will increase in value, even more so due to expert framing, using professional museum mat and gold filet framing under glass.
