FAQs

Sixteenth-century maps are characterised by hand-coloured copperplate engravings, ornate cartouches, mythical creatures, and early scientific projections developed during the Renaissance.

Authentic maps from this period were typically printed from hand-carved copper plates onto laid rag paper made from linen or hemp fibres, often featuring hand-applied watercolours.

Authenticity is assessed through examination of paper characteristics such as chain lines and watermark, plate marks indentation, ink oxidation under magnification, and the presence of genuine hand-colouring rather than modern dot-matrix printing.

An antique map is traditionally framed using conservation-grade UV-protective glass and neutral archival mountings, positioned within a study, library, or hallway to serve as a focal point.

Historic paper must be kept away from direct sunlight, high humidity, and extreme temperature fluctuations to prevent fading, foxing, and degradation of the fibres.
