Are you and intrepid explorer with a love of cartography? Have you decided to decorate your study with old map designs to demonstrate your love of exploration and design? If this sounds familiar then you need only consider one business and that is Old Map.

We are a business with a vast selection of some of the foremost old map designs. These fine hand coloured reproduction designs were designed by two of the foremost names in cartography, John Speed and John Ogilby.

Our designs have a wealth of history that pre-dates the advent of the motor car, railways, canal’s and even the English Civil War. For any ardent historian these products are simply a fabulous way to explore those historical periods that capture your interest.

All of the John Speed old map designs that we offer have been painstakingly restored with colours that weren’t previously available centuries ago. Reproduced onto quality cream vellum 220 gsm paper, and painstakingly hand-coloured using sable brushes, traditional watercolours and inks, these John Speed designs exemplify care and attention.

Each of the John Speed designs that we offer is meticulous hand-coloured, as previously mentioned. Each of these designs is a unique piece of artwork in its own right, and makes the ideal decoration for any study environment.
Our old map designs are supplied in either roller, dry mount or framed. Once you choose to purchase one of these old maps, we take meticulous care despatching the products themselves, so you can rest assured that you’ll receive the product in pristine condition.
