Sold antique maps and historical archive of cartography

Over the years, numerous maps produced using historical printing techniques, such as copper engraving, woodcut and lithography, have passed through our gallery. Some pieces came from atlases, travel books, geographical treatises or scientific publications, while others were published as independent cartographic works.

This archive makes it possible to approach the history of geography, travel, navigation and exploration through representations of cities, countries, regions, continents, coastlines, maritime routes and historical territories. It also offers a visual reference for the development of borders, geographical names and ways of representing the world during different periods.

This archive constitutes a historical catalogue of sold antique maps and not an active sales section. If you would like to see the pieces currently available, you can visit our antique maps for sale section, where we regularly add carefully selected new examples.

Historical archive of sold maps, plans and nautical charts

Among the pieces included in this archive are maps of countries and regions, city plans, continental maps, world maps, nautical charts, cartographic views, route maps, plates from atlases and documents related to exploration and geographical knowledge.

Many of these maps retained ornamental cartouches, scales, legends, compass roses, rhumb lines, inscriptions naming cartographers and publishers, wide margins or antique colouring. These elements make it possible to compare printing techniques, decorative styles, cartographic conventions and geographical knowledge from different periods.
