Made for you

Made to your size. Every frame is cut, joined and glazed to order, which is why we can't accept returns on made-to-measure frames. Please check your size before ordering.

Arrives perfect, or we remake it. Every frame travels in specialised picture frame packaging. If anything reaches you less than perfect, send us a photo within 48 hours of delivery and we'll remake it free.

Caring for it. Peel any protective film from the glazing, then clean with a soft, dry cloth. Don't use glass cleaner.

The craft

What makes it special

Great design deserves great craftsmanship. That’s why we do everything ourselves — from the printing to framing — all in our London studio. Every material is carefully chosen for its quality and sustainability, sourced only from trusted manufacturers in the UK and Europe. While many brands rely on mass-produced frames or outsourced production, we take pride in creating every piece with care — so you receive a product that looks and feels as special as the moment it celebrates.
FAQ

Common questions,
honest answers.

Can't find what you're looking for? Contact us via chat or email.

Is this an original antique map?
No — it's a faithful, museum-quality reproduction printed to order from a high-resolution scan of the original. You get the character of the antique map without the four-figure price or fragility of an original.
Where does the image come from?
A high-resolution archival scan from the David Rumsey Map Collection. The underlying map is in the public domain; we reproduce it on archival paper.
What paper and inks do you use?
Archival matte fine-art paper with pigment inks, printed at 300dpi so every place name stays crisp at every size.
Does it come framed?
Yes — it's hand-framed to order with a mount as standard. Choose your frame finish and size in the designer above; every size keeps the map's original proportions.
