Established in 1961

I AM A DEALER IN ORIGINAL ANTIQUE MAPS WITH A LARGE SELECTION
OF COUNTY MAPS OF THE BRITISH ISLES DATING FROM 1580 TO 1900

Antique maps are fascinating and beautiful items to collect. They offer a unique way to look back to the past and help us to understand how our country and our world has altered over time. How they were made and how they have survived makes them very collectible works of art.

Thankfully here are very few fakes around but there are quite a number of different series of reproduction maps. So try and get a chance to see some real antique maps then you will realize what to look for. Buying from a reputable maps specialist as in any field of antiques is always best. They know all about the maps they are selling and very often the prices will be fair and reasonable and they will guarantee the age of the map.

I have been selling maps since 1961. Yes I am now getting on in years but still enjoy the buying, selling and handling these wonderful old pieces of history. Just like hallmarked silver, antique maps can very often be dated to a particular year. In British Isles section of my website I often portray an image of the monarch who was on the throne when the map was published. My intention is to try and make you think about the times of when the map was made and all the years and events that have passed since. Many have survived as they have been bound into an atlas which has probably graced the shelves of a gentleman's library.

When I discovered antique maps it changerd my llife. I do not promise that they will do that for you but I am sure they will give you a lot of pleasure and interest.
