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 Keywords: antique map of Ireland, antique Ireland map, Royaume d’Irlande map, Robert de Vaugondy Ireland, Santini Venice map, 18th century Ireland map, hand colored antique map, Georgian era cartography, historic Ireland wall map, European antique map, French cartographic school, Italian engraved map, copper engraved map, decorative antique map, neutral antique wall art, classic library wall decor, historic wall decor, heritage interior art, gentleman’s library wall art, study wall decor, old world interior decor, English country house style, refined wall map, vintage European wall art, timeless wall decor, architectural interior art, framed antique map...

Beautiful and rare Gothic Revival treasure box with bronze handle. If you are a collector of antique boxes and/or if you are looking for an extraordinary jewelry box to grace your credenza or side table then this unique and top quality made specimen in the Gothic style could be perfect. Gothic Revival boxes are very hard to find and we have never seen one with such prodigious carvings on all sides. The unique and cat-like dragon gargoyles (with fangs) that look like they are carrying this casket, are just some of the stunningly carved and detailed sculptures that make this antique rarity even more artistic and impressive. Another great feature are the peacock sculptures. In Christianity the peacock is the symbol of purity. Christians believe that once someone has passed their soul rises and goes to heaven. This is why in earlier times Christians would spread the feathers of a peacock over the deceased since it symbolized a pure soul that was immune to corruption. The peacock also represents immortality, resurrection, and the spiritual teachings of Jesus Christ and the Christian church. Have you also noticed the top quality details on both ends of the bronze handle on top? The quality of that ornamental work is of the absolute highest standard also. There are many more incredibly beautiful, hand carved details and together they show that no expense was spared to create one of the most amazing Gothic caskets...
