Introducing vintage maps, nautical charts & reproductions!

We have over 30 antique maps and charts from the Library of Congress, which are in the public domain. If you follow us on Facebook and Instagram, you can see updates of  installations, starting with a Manchester-by-the-Sea Chart from the home owners private collection. At the suggestion of designer Emily Sumner I reproduced this 1822 chart at about 500% of its original size and colorized the land. This was applied to the ceiling in the “Map Room”. There is beauty in using charts on the “fifth wall”, ceilings are a forgotten place to decorate.

Sidenote: We found the molding surrounding the mural was not square, Greg Kahler “PHD – Paper Hanging and Design” had the brilliant suggestion of an appliqué of the border which follows the shape of the “box”.

Charts and maps are not only representational of a place but also have a tracery of line, if you love old maps, this is for you!

I was asked by a New York design firm to come up with a Peacock tail feather wallpaper. They had found a paper with real Peacock feathers which sold for $4000 per panel. Here is what I came up with:

While I was at it, I did some experimenting with Guinea Hen feathers.

   Or one can make a pattern from the feathers.

 Transenna-3717

Stone Barn in Connecticut 127″ Repeat 108″ High. 

 

    I can put a scene in the windows or remove them completely.
