Product description

Lot: a matched pair of framed antique cartographic prints — seller-declared originals pre-1900 — presented under glass with cream double mats and attractive wood-effect frames with silver beading. Both sheets show classic engraved cartouche decoration (Regnum Bohemia / Coloniensis visible in the images) and light, even age-toning to the paper that is consistent with original antique prints.

These framed maps are ready to hang as period wall décor for a study, office, library or gallery wall and will suit collectors, interior stylists or antique dealers seeking decorative historical maps in original sheet form. They work equally well as a matched pair above a sofa or sideboard, or separated and used as matched accents in two rooms.
