Chikanobu Triptych – Shogun Returns from the Hunt in Koganehara, c.1897 This powerful and dynamic triptych by Toyohara Chikanobu (1838–1912) depicts the Shogun and his retinue returning from a falconry hunt across the vast grasslands of Koganehara. The print is part of the celebrated Meiji-era series Chiyoda no Omote (Outer Palace of Chiyoda), which portrayed ceremonial and military scenes from the life of the Tokugawa shogunate. This series blends historical reverence with a modern Meiji sensibility, celebrating Japan’s warrior heritage at a time of rapid transformation. Rendered in rich color and vivid linework, the triptych shows a noble procession in motion: the mounted Shogun at center turns back toward the viewer, while falconers and warriors in elaborate dress surround him. Attendants carry game and falconry equipment, and a dense forest line marks the horizon behind them. The sweeping composition emphasizes both movement and status, with the central figure visually dominant and placed against a pale, open sky. The triptych is signed by Chikanobu with the toshidama cartouche and published by Fukuda Hatsujirō around 1897. Chikanobu, one of the last great ukiyo-e masters, was celebrated for his ability to capture imperial ceremony, samurai culture, and the feminine elegance of the court — often in triptych format for dramatic impact. While the work shows some age-related signs, it retains strong visual appeal and is a compelling historical document of samurai-era tradition as imagined through Meiji eyes. Condition report: Good overall condition considering age. The three sheets are mounted together on old Japanese paper backing (verso), which is loosening slightly along the joins. Light overall toning and minor wrinkling across the panels. Colors remain well preserved with strong impression and no major losses or tears. Margins present, minor handling wear visible. A stable and attractive display piece. Framing tips: We recommend float mounting the full triptych in a custom horizontal frame, allowing the slight backing and joins to remain visible as part of its historical charm. Use a dark walnut or black lacquer frame with an off-white or light beige acid-free mat. Proper archival mounting can help preserve the integrity of the backing while enhancing its display quality.

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.

Antique Map of Asia Minor Turkey with Greek Key Border by Tallis, c.1850 A highly decorative and finely engraved map titled “Asia Minor,” depicting the region of Anatolia (modern-day Turkey) in remarkable detail, produced in the mid-19th century and published by John Tallis and the London Printing and Publishing Company. This map was engraved by John Rapkin after designs by H. Warren, forming part of one of the most visually distinctive and sought-after atlases of the Victorian period. The map presents a comprehensive view of Asia Minor, including present-day Turkey along with surrounding regions such as Cyprus, Rhodes, and parts of the eastern Mediterranean. It reflects the geopolitical landscape of the Ottoman Empire during the 19th century, with detailed place names, mountain ranges, rivers, and classical references carefully rendered throughout the composition. One of the most striking features of this piece is its bold and elegant Greek key (Meander) border, a design inspired by classical antiquity and strongly associated with ancient Greek art and architecture. This decorative frame elevates the map beyond a purely geographical document, giving it a refined and architectural presence that makes it especially desirable for interior display. John Tallis maps are widely regarded as some of the most decorative productions of the 19th century, combining precise engraving with artistic flourishes that appeal strongly to collectors and interior designers alike. The collaboration between Rapkin and Warren resulted in maps that are both informative and highly aesthetic, bridging the gap between scientific cartography and decorative art. This example, presented in its uncolored or monochrome state, offers a more restrained and architectural aesthetic, emphasizing the fine engraving work and making it particularly suitable for modern and minimalist interiors, while still retaining its historical depth and character. This is an original 19th-century engraving, not a reproduction. All items we offer are authentic period works of art over 100 years old. The print is sold unframed; any framed images are shown for presentation and interior inspiration only and not always on scale in the visual presentation. Condition: Good condition with age-related toning and light surface wear. Central folds as issued. Minor spotting and handling marks consistent with age. Margins intact with a strong and crisp impression. Framing tips: This map works exceptionally well in a dark walnut or ebonized frame with a wide ivory or off-white mat to emphasize the graphic border. For a more contemporary look, a thin black frame with a generous mat creates a striking contrast that highlights the Greek key design.

1726 Map of Bengal by Van der Aa after Valentijn – Dutch East Indies This is an original antique map titled “Nieuwe Kaart van ’t Koninryk van Bengale,” published by Pieter van der Aa in Leiden in 1726. The map depicts the Kingdom of Bengal and surrounding regions, based on earlier work by François Valentijn, a Dutch East India Company (VOC) official and historian whose extensive writings on Asia were among the most important early European sources. The engraving covers the Bengal region (modern-day Bangladesh and West Bengal, India), showing detailed river systems including the Ganges and its distributaries flowing into the Gulf of Bengal. Major towns, cities, and kingdoms are labelled in Dutch, such as Orixa (Orissa), Arracan, Tipera (Tripura), and Cos Assam (Assam). Mountain ranges are represented pictorially with stylised hachured peaks, while fertile plains are indicated with field patterns, adding visual texture to the map. In the upper right is an elegant title cartouche with dedication to VOC officials, referencing Mathijs van den Broecke, a director in Bengal, and Johannes Lennep. A compass rose is positioned at the bottom, enhancing its decorative maritime appeal, with north oriented to the right as typical for Dutch maps of Asian regions in this period. Pieter van der Aa (1659–1733) was a prolific publisher known for compiling maps from earlier explorers and engravers into elegant and collectible volumes. His works remain valued for their historical significance, decorative artistry, and connection to VOC trade networks and colonial history. Condition: Good condition. Strong impression with later hand colouring. Light age toning, faint foxing mainly in margins, and some creasing along original fold lines as issued. Fully suitable for framing. Framing tips: Frame this map in a slim gilt or dark wood frame to highlight its decorative hand colouring. Use an off-white archival mat to accentuate the engraving and protect the edges. UV-protective glazing is recommended to maintain colour vibrancy and paper integrity. Keywords block for your listing: bengal map...
