1645 Blaeu Map of Westmorland, Northern England – Hand Colored, Decorative
Located in Langweer, NL
This map, "Westmoria Comitatus; Anglice Westmorland", was created by the esteemed Dutch cartographer Willem Blaeu and was published around 1645 in 'Le Theatre du Monde ou Nouvel Atlas'. It provides a detailed look at Westmorland, a historic county in northern England, based on John Speed’s earlier map. The map features numerous place names, parks, and estates, including Brigster Park, Colnhead Park, Crosbye, and Midleton, along with a detailed depiction of Windermere (spelled Wynandermere) and the surrounding regions.
Additional Features:
- Hand-colored map, with vibrant and detailed colors that bring out the topographical and decorative features.
- Includes intricate cartouches, such as the royal coat of arms, a decorative title cartouche topped with putti (cherubic figures), and six coats of arms (two left blank).
- Depicts the region’s rich landscape, including the rolling hills and mountainous terrain of northern England.
- French text on the verso, indicative of the publication period from 1645-1648, part of Blaeu’s highly sought-after atlases.
- Map shows precise details of small towns, estates, and parks, such as Brigster Park, Colnhead Park, Crosbye, and Wynandermere (now Windermere Lake).
This map would be of particular interest to collectors of English county maps, antique maps of northern England, 17th-century cartography, and the decorative works of Willem Blaeu. Blaeu's maps are renowned for their accuracy, artistic beauty, and historical significance.

Antique and Quality Hand Carved Solid Oak Gothic Church Wall Bracket or Shelf
Located in Lisse, NL
Great looking and deeply carved Gothic Revival bracket for displaying a Saint statue.
This Gothic console for wall mounting dates from the late 1800s and it has a marvelous combination of floral Gothic elements that make it a joy to own, to use and to look at. All handcrafted more than 100 years ago and always well taken care of, this Gothic Revival wall bracket has the most wonderful shape and a striking patina. This organic design with its natural, flowing lines of the deeply carved Gothic leaves also give it an almost circular look and feel.
This rare church relic was once connected to a church column where it would undoubtedly have been the base for a marvelous Saint statue. If you look closely at the image of the backside, you will be able to see that the rounded part has been professionally flattened out so that it now can be used against a (flat) wall. Apart from a few minor imperfections this Gothic antique of approximately one hundred and fifty years old could not be in better condition. Thanks to the thick wooden opening in the back, mounting this antique bracket...

Antique 1683 Map of Hispaniola and Puerto Rico in the Caribbean by Mallet
Located in Langweer, NL
Title: 17th Century Map of Hispaniola and Puerto Rico by Mallet (1683)
This exquisite 17th-century map by Mallet, titled "I. d'Hispaniola et P.to Rico," showcases the islands of Hispaniola and Puerto Rico with remarkable detail. Published in Paris in 1683 as part of Mallet's monumental "Description de l'Univers," this map is a prime example of historical cartography from the era.
Map Features:
- Detailed depiction of Hispaniola and Puerto Rico
- Nearby islands: Inagua islands, Mayaguana, Île-à-Vache, Saona, and Mona
- Three illustrated naval battles surrounding the islands
- Hand-colored illustrations typical of the period
- Published in Paris, 1683, as part of the "Description de l'Univers"
- Engraved with artistic and geographic precision
Collectors and enthusiasts of antique maps will appreciate the historical significance and artistic detail of this rare print. Although small, the map is perfect for framing and this map serves as a captivating piece of history, reflecting the maritime exploration and territorial knowledge of the late 17th century.
The maker of the map is Allain Manesson Mallet, a notable 17th-century cartographer, military engineer, and author. Born in Paris in 1630, Mallet served in the French army and worked as a military engineer under Louis XIV. He later became a professor of mathematics and military architecture.
Mallet is best known for his monumental work, "Description de l'Univers," published in Paris in 1683. This extensive publication is considered one of the greatest works of its kind in the 17th century, providing detailed descriptions and maps of various parts of the world. Mallet's maps are renowned for their artistic quality, intricate details, and the inclusion of illustrative elements such as ships, sea creatures, and topographical features.
Mallet's contributions to cartography and his work in "Description de l'Univers" have left a lasting impact on the field, making his maps highly valued by collectors and historians.
