The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

During the late 17th and 18th centuries, cartographers such as Robert Morden produced detailed county maps for publications like Camdens Britannia. These maps were engraved onto copper plates and printed, providing topographical and administrative boundary information for landowners and travellers.

Engravings from this era were printed on hand-made rag paper using oil-based inks applied from etched or engraved copper plates. Watercolour washes were frequently applied by hand to delineate hundred boundaries, roads, and decorative cartouches.

Authentic Morden maps display distinct copperplate impression lines around the print border, chain lines within the handmade paper, and characteristic 18th-century typography and spelling, including the distinctive title cartouche and scales of miles.

Framed maps bring historical structure and warm neutral tones to contemporary interiors. They work effectively as focal points above sideboards, styled within gallery walls, or paired with traditional wooden furniture in studies and hallways.

Display paper cartography away from direct sunlight and high humidity to prevent fading and foxing. Frame items using acid-free mounting materials and UV-protective glass to ensure long-term preservation of the paper and hand-applied colours.
