An original hand-coloured antique print featuring a Siberian lynx, which is a subspecies of the Eurasian lynx. This print, titled 'The Lynx of Siberia', would have been part of a work published by G.B. Whittaker and based on an illustration by Charles Hamilton Smith, around 1825. Charles Hamilton Smith was a versatile figure of his time, not just an illustrator and naturalist, but also a scholar with a keen interest in various subjects including ethnology and military science. His depictions of animals were among the early scientific efforts to document wildlife in their natural habitats with an emphasis on both detail and aesthetics. The publisher G.B. Whittaker was known for producing works of natural history, and his collaboration with Charles Hamilton Smith resulted in a number of beautifully illustrated prints that were not only scientifically valuable but also works of art. The Siberian lynx, or Lynx lynx...

Reimagined from the Phaidon best-seller Graphic: 500 Designs that Matter, the book’s dizzying array of designs range from the Gutenberg Bible to Joy Division album art, with work by both anonymous creators and industry icons such as Aleksandr Rodchenko, Paul Rand, Paula Scher, Ahn Sang-soo, and Julia Born. The generous format and two-part design structure allows designs to be shown in detail, with large images up front and a 300+ word text for each entry in the back – making this equal parts picture and reading book.

This vintage equestrian needlepoint portrait (signed “78 SH”) captures the soulful expression and classic profile of a bay horse, rendered in rich warm tones with a beautifully detailed bridle. The piece is fully hand-stitched—thousands of individual wool stitches create a striking, textural surface that feels both nostalgic and graphic. Framed in its original 1970s walnut-stained wooden frame, the artwork has charming age, light patina, and the authentic character that collectors of Americana and needlepoint art adore. The backing shows age wear, consistent with its vintage nature, and the frame displays minor surface scuffs appropriate for its age. This piece is ideal for equestrian-themed interiors, traditional libraries, rustic lodge spaces, children’s rooms, mudrooms, Ralph Lauren aesthetics or anywhere that could use a warm, heritage-leaning moment. It layers beautifully with trophies, vintage horse ribbons, leather goods, and antique sporting art. Styling Ideas Hang in a gallery wall with brass-framed horse prints...

Ceylon, Burmah, Siam and Anam, Antique Map of South & Southeast Asia, 1860 Description: This original antique map presents two detailed panels titled The Island of Ceylon and Burmah, Siam and Anam, offering a mid-19th-century British cartographic view of South and Southeast Asia. The map originates from The Imperial Atlas of Modern Geography and was published in 1860 by W. G. Blackie, one of the leading British atlas publishers of the Victorian era. The left panel depicts the island of Ceylon (present-day Sri Lanka), clearly outlined in original hand coloring. Mountain ranges, river systems, towns, roads, and coastal features are finely engraved, reflecting British colonial administration and geographic knowledge during the period when Ceylon was a Crown Colony. Ports, inland settlements, and plantation regions are carefully marked, emphasizing the island’s strategic and economic importance in the Indian Ocean. The right panel shows mainland Southeast Asia, covering Burmah (Myanmar), Siam (Thailand), and Anam (central Vietnam), with surrounding regions including parts of Laos, Cambodia, and the Malay Peninsula. Political boundaries are distinguished by subtle hand coloring, while rivers such as the Irrawaddy, Salween, Mekong, and Chao Phraya structure the geography. Coastal outlines along the Bay of Bengal, Gulf of Siam, and South China Sea are precisely rendered, highlighting key ports, trade routes, and colonial spheres of influence. Together, the two panels reflect 19th-century European interest in Asia as a region of trade, empire, and strategic expansion. The balanced layout, fine engraving, and restrained original coloring give the map both scholarly authority and strong decorative appeal, making it suitable for collectors of Asian and colonial cartography as well as for interior designers seeking a refined historical wall piece. Condition report: Good antique condition. Light overall age toning consistent with age. Minor scattered foxing and light handling marks, mostly confined to the margins. Original central folds as issued. No major tears or losses. Framing tips: A wide ivory or warm cream mat will enhance the engraved detail and soft hand coloring. A dark walnut, black, or subtle antique gilt frame complements the map’s academic and exploratory character. Museum or UV-protective glass is recommended.
