Printing & Framing Process

Our decorative maps are crafted as museum-quality prints, designed to last.

We utilise the finest textured papers and high-grade inks, ensuring vibrant colors that remain vivid for approximately 200 years before showing signs of fading.

Framing is done as per your wishes. Be it at a framing shop local to you – in which case the map will be rolled and shipped in a cardboard tube. Or, arranged here in the United Kingdom.

We highly recommend Derek Tanous, one of Europe’s most esteemed fine art framers, for a truly exceptional presentation. Derek and his team create custom frames from scratch, offering a vast selection of styles. Each frame is meticulously handcrafted from timber, with ornate plaster work applied using 200-year-old Victorian hand-carved wooden molds. The final touch includes gold leafing, aged and toned to achieve a classic antique finish.

Once framed, your map will be securely packed in a custom wooden crate and shipped via air or sea freight. International fine art movers, Momart, will manage the entire process, including customs clearance and, if desired, installation on your wall.
