Ireland Antique Map – Royaume d’Irlande, De Vaugondy, Venice 1778
Located in Langweer, NL
Antique Map of Ireland – Royaume d’Irlande, Robert de Vaugondy, Venice 1778
Description:
This finely engraved 18th-century map depicts the Kingdom of Ireland under the title Royaume d’Irlande divisé en ses quatre Provinces et subdivisé en Comtés. The island is shown in impressive detail, with the traditional four provinces—Ulster, Connaught, Leinster, and Munster—clearly delineated and subdivided into counties by contemporary outline coloring. Coastal features, rivers, towns, and road networks are rendered with the clarity and balance typical of late Enlightenment French cartography.
The map was drawn by Robert de Vaugondy, one of the most influential mapmakers of the 18th century and royal geographer to the King of France. This Venetian edition was published in 1778 by Paolo Santini, who issued a number of high-quality Italian editions of leading French cartographic works. Santini’s publications are prized for their crisp engraving, generous format, and restrained coloring, making them particularly attractive for framing.
The decorative maritime cartouche, left uncolored as issued, provides a refined visual counterbalance to the densely engraved map surface. Longitude and latitude scales frame the composition, while inset coastal details along the eastern seaboard emphasize Ireland’s maritime orientation and strategic importance during the Georgian period. The overall aesthetic is elegant rather than ornate, lending the map strong decorative appeal for both classic and contemporary interiors.
This map sits at the intersection of political geography and decorative cartography, reflecting Ireland’s administrative structure in the late 18th century while remaining visually calm and highly legible. It works exceptionally well as a stand-alone wall piece in libraries, studies, hallways, or heritage-inspired interiors, and also pairs beautifully with maps of England or Scotland from the same period.
Condition report:
Good antique condition. Light, even age toning throughout. Original centerfold as issued. Minor handling wear and soft creases consistent with age. Contemporary outline coloring well preserved. No major tears or losses.
Framing tips:
This map benefits from a wide mat to emphasize its scale and clarity. Recommended combinations include a dark walnut or ebonized frame with an ivory or light parchment mat for a traditional library look, or a slim black frame with an off-white mat for a cleaner, architectural presentation. UV glass is advised to preserve the original coloring.
Technique: Copper engraving with contemporary outline coloring
Maker: Robert de Vaugondy, published by Paolo Santini, Venice, 1778

Mint 1997 Omas “Return to the Motherland” limited edition 18k gold fountain pen
Located in Weesp, NL
1997 OMAS Return to the Motherland Limited Edition Fountain Pen
Solid 18K Gold · No. 063/200 · 123g · Mint Full Set w/ Original 1997 Red Ink
A rare and historically weighted masterpiece — this 1997 OMAS Return to the Motherland fountain pen was created to honor the handover of Hong Kong from British to Chinese governance, marking one of the most significant geopolitical transitions of the 20th century. Only 200 examples were produced worldwide, each individually numbered. This piece is No. 063/200, preserved in mint, uninked condition, and complete with every original component.
Crafted entirely in 18 karat gold and weighing an impressive 123 grams, the pen is sculpted in deep high-relief — a tactile narrative rendered directly into precious metal.
Sculptural & Symbolic Detail
• Imperial Dragon in full sculptural relief — symbol of prosperity, sovereignty and protection
• Flowing silk texture motifs — referencing millennia of Chinese heritage and continuity
• Engraved Great Wall — endurance, culture, identity, the spine of civilization
• Pink/White Dolphins — indigenous to Hong Kong waters, symbols of harmony, freedom, renewal
• Red lacquer grip and finial — the color of fortune, vitality and auspicious beginnings in Chinese culture
These elements are not printed — they are carved, dimensional and alive with symbolism.
A writing instrument that feels like a piece of sculpture.
Nib — Two-Tone Gold with Commemorative Engraving
The pen is fitted with a two-tone 18K gold nib — white finished (rhodium/platinum over 18K) with inlaid yellow-gold dragon details and engraved:
“HONG KONG 1997”
Also signed OMAS · 18K
This feature alone makes the edition unmistakable: culturally specific, commemorative, and produced at a level of craftsmanship few modern pens approach.
