Antique Blaeu Maps, Indonesia & Moluccas – VOC Era, c.1642 A rare and highly decorative pair of original 17th-century maps by Willem Blaeu, depicting Indonesia and the Moluccas—the heart of the historic spice trade. Richly hand-colored and engraved at the height of the Dutch Golden Age, these maps capture the geography and ambition of the VOC in Southeast Asia. The larger map, “India quae Orientalis dicitur et Insulae Adiacentes,” presents a sweeping view of South and Southeast Asia, including India, Indochina, and the Indonesian archipelago. It reflects the expanding geographic knowledge of the Dutch East India Company (VOC) during its rise as a dominant global trading power. Complementing this is the iconic “Moluccae Insulae Celeberrimae,” a detailed map of the Spice Islands, the epicenter of the global clove and nutmeg trade. The map is richly adorned with sailing ships, compass roses, and a striking cartouche, alongside an inset of Bachian Island, underscoring the strategic importance of the region. Together, these maps form a compelling visual narrative: from the broader Asian trading network to the highly contested and lucrative spice-producing islands. As a pair, they offer both geographical scope and detailed insight, making them particularly desirable for collectors and interior designers seeking a cohesive and historically resonant display. This combination is especially appealing for Southeast Asian, maritime, or colonial-themed interiors, where the connection between global trade routes and the Moluccan spice trade can be appreciated as a unified story. Note: Interior mockups shown are for visual inspiration only and do not represent the exact scale. We do not sell reproductions, only original works of art over 100 years old. Condition: Both maps in very good condition, with original hand color. Light toning consistent with age. Central fold as issued. Margins good. No major restorations visible. Plate marks visible. Framing tips: Best presented as a pair in matching dark walnut frames with wide ivory mats. Hang with the India map centered and the Moluccas map slightly offset or below for a layered gallery effect. Creates a strong narrative wall suitable for luxury interiors.

Antique Map Guinea West Africa Blaeu c.1640, Ships, Animals, Cartouche This striking and highly decorative map of the Guinea coast in West Africa was engraved by Willem Blaeu, one of the leading figures of Dutch Golden Age cartography, and published in his celebrated 'Toonneel des Aerdrycx' atlas around 1640. Combining geographic precision with vivid artistic imagination, the map represents one of the most visually engaging depictions of Africa produced in the 17th century. Covering the West African coastline from Sierra Leone through the Gold Coast to Benin, the map presents a detailed coastal outline used for early navigation, enriched with rhumb lines, compass roses, and multiple sailing ships. Inland, Blaeu introduces evocative imagery of the African interior, including elephants, lions, and other animals, reflecting both contemporary knowledge and European perceptions of the region. These elements give the map a strong narrative and decorative appeal beyond its geographic function. At the lower center, a large and elaborate cartouche frames the title “Guinea,” supported by allegorical figures and surrounded by finely engraved ornamental detail. Additional decorative features include sea creatures, canoes, and richly adorned compass roses, all executed with exceptional clarity and balance. The engraving is enhanced by original hand coloring, which highlights political boundaries and coastal regions while adding warmth and visual depth. Maps of Guinea from Blaeu’s atlas are particularly sought after for their combination of rarity, decorative richness, and historical significance, representing early European engagement with the West African coast during a period of expanding trade and exploration. This example stands out for its strong impression, balanced composition, and lively imagery. This is an original 17th-century engraving, not a reproduction. All items we offer are authentic period works of art over 100 years old. The map is sold unframed; any framed images are shown for presentation and interior inspiration only. Condition: Good condition with age-related toning. Original center fold as issued. Some light discoloration and minor wear at the edges, consistent with age. Paper remains strong and stable. A well-preserved and attractive impression. Framing tips: This map pairs beautifully with a dark walnut or ebonized frame and a wide ivory or museum-white mat. The rich colors and decorative cartouche benefit from a slightly darker wall tone such as warm taupe or deep olive, creating a refined and atmospheric presentation.

Traditional Headdresses from Italy and France: Florence, Ostia, Castà – 1823 This hand-colored lithograph, marked “No. 5,” is the fifth plate in a captivating 1823 series published in London by Baldwin, Cradock & Joy, illustrating traditional headdresses from across Europe. With a focus on Italian regional fashion, but also including a figure from Languedoc (France), the print showcases the diversity and creativity of 19th-century women's headwear in both ceremonial and everyday contexts. At upper left, a woman from Montefiascone wears a simple yet elegant white veil draped loosely over her hair and shoulders. Her scarlet sleeve ribbons and golden earring add a dash of vibrancy to an otherwise modest ensemble. In contrast, the central figure from Lariana dons one of the most dramatic headpieces on the sheet: a large, bright yellow hat embellished with blue ribbon and multiple ornamental loops. Her necklace with a red cross pendant suggests a religious or festival connection. To the upper right, the figure from Languedoc is rendered in profile wearing a striking purple bonnet with vertical ridges, trimmed with white lace, and set against a yellow collar. This French addition provides an interesting cross-cultural comparison within a primarily Italian series. The bottom row continues with a woman from Florence, shown from behind with her dark hair intricately braided and adorned with a long pink and white ribbon that drapes down her back—an emblem of grace and femininity. The central bottom figure from Ostia wears a wide-brimmed felt hat...

Large pair of Swedish gilt metal and engraved glass mirrors after Precht Swedish, 19th Century Height 132cm, width 75cm, depth 5cm Crafted in 19th century Sweden, the design of this elegant pair of mirrors is after the work of the Precht family. Burchard (d.1738), Gustav (d. 1763) and Christian (d. 1779) Precht were synonymous with 18th century mirror production in Sweden and crafted exceptional pieces for the Swedish court. Mounted on an ebonised wood backing, the front of the mirrors is adorned with gilt metal frames and engraved glass detailing. The egg and dart motif is used for the gilt metal frames. The glass is engraved with floral and scrolling patterns, in between which are gilt metal mounts of a similar design. Centering each mirror is a large glass plane. Surmounting the mirror is a shaped, gilt metal, and engraved glass panel with adornments like the ones below. Topping these are gilt metal vases filled with rich bouquets.

Antique Holy Land Map, Terrae Sanctae Tabula – Guillaume De L’Isle, 1782 A finely engraved and historically significant late-18th century map of the Holy Land by Guillaume De L’Isle, one of the most influential scientific cartographers of the Enlightenment period. Issued in Jean Lattre’s Atlas Moderne (Paris, 1782), this map reflects the transition from decorative baroque cartography toward rigorous geographic scholarship grounded in historical sources and critical analysis. The two maps are offered unframed, giving flexibility to select a frame that best suits the intended interior. Presented across two sheets, the map depicts the biblical lands from Gaza and the Sinai Peninsula northwards through Judea and Samaria to Sidon and Damascus, encompassing modern Israel, Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, and parts of Syria. The geography is structured around scriptural and classical references, drawing specifically from sacred texts and early historical authorities including Flavius Josephus, Eusebius, and Saint Jerome, resulting in a cartographic interpretation that blends historical geography with Enlightenment scholarship. Numerous biblical locations are carefully identified, including territories traditionally associated with the Tribes of Israel. Rivers, deserts, mountain ranges, and ancient cities are rendered with clarity and precision characteristic of the De L’Isle school. Notable sites such as Jerusalem, the Dead Sea region, Gaza, and other significant historical centers appear alongside lesser-known or legendary locations, including references to cities such as Sodom and Gomorrah, reflecting early modern interpretations of sacred geography. The map’s aesthetic restraint emphasizes accuracy and readability rather than decorative excess. An elaborate rococo title cartouche provides a refined visual focal point, while the engraved linework demonstrates the technical excellence associated with French cartography of the period. The example here preserves both sheets, allowing the full geographic composition intended by the publisher to be appreciated. Maps by Guillaume De L’Isle are highly regarded by collectors for their scientific rigor and historical importance. Holy Land maps in particular remain enduringly desirable due to their intersection of cartography, theology, and cultural history, making this an appealing acquisition for collectors of biblical cartography, Enlightenment atlases, or early modern Middle Eastern geography. Condition: Two sheets as issued. Age toning consistent with period paper, light surface wear and minor handling marks visible. Fold lines from original atlas binding present. Margins generally good with expected irregularities. Framing tips: This map works exceptionally well framed as a two-sheet presentation with narrow spacing between the panels. Dark walnut or ebony frame with ivory or warm cream mat enhances the antique tonal range and suits both classic and contemporary interiors. We well the maps unframed.

Antique Map Morocco Fez & Marrakesh, Blaeu Atlas, Hand-Colored c.1640 This finely engraved and richly hand-colored map of Morocco is one of the most decorative and desirable regional maps from the celebrated Dutch Golden Age cartographer Willem Blaeu. Issued in the monumental atlas Toonneel des Aerdrycx (c.1640–1645), it presents the kingdoms of Fez and Marrakesh (Marocco) with remarkable clarity and artistic refinement. The map depicts the northwest of Africa with detailed topography, including mountain ranges, rivers, and settlements across present-day Morocco. Coastal outlines are elegantly rendered along both the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, with sea routes animated by finely engraved sailing ships. Across the upper right, the Spanish coast is indicated, emphasizing the geographic and political proximity between Europe and North Africa. Blaeu’s work is celebrated not only for its geographic accuracy but also for its artistic embellishment. The lower left features an elaborate cartouche supported by two classical figures holding banners, framing the title: Fezzae et Marocchi Regna Africae Celeberrima. This decorative element reflects the grandeur and prestige associated with Blaeu’s atlases, which were produced for Europe’s elite collectors and scholars. Original hand coloring enhances both the visual appeal and the readability of the map, highlighting regional boundaries and coastal areas. The engraving is crisp, with strong contrasts and fine detail, typical of Blaeu’s high production standards. Maps of Morocco from Blaeu’s atlas are highly sought after for their decorative impact and historical significance, representing early European knowledge and interpretation of North Africa. This example is particularly attractive due to its balanced composition, ornamental cartouche, and vibrant original color. This is an original 17th-century engraving, not a reproduction. All items we offer are authentic period works of art over 100 years old. The map is sold unframed; any framed images are shown for presentation and interior inspiration only. Condition: Good condition with age-related toning. Minor discoloration in the margins. Original fold line as issued. Paper remains strong and stable. A well-preserved and attractive impression. Framing tips: This map benefits from a dark walnut or ebonized frame with a wide ivory or museum-white mat to enhance its rich colors and decorative cartouche. A slightly darker wall tone (taupe, olive, or deep neutral) will elevate the warm tones and create a refined, gallery-style presentation. Keywords: Morocco map...
