At last this new site is up and running. Sometimes stuff just gets in the way. Selling antique maps and prints online for a couple of years and having launched the "Rare Maps and Prints Review" series of web-tv videos became more than a challenge.
"Time and unforeseen occurrence befall us all" springs to mind and so this site just didn't happen, until now. Hopefully this will be the place for you to discover something beautiful. Maybe you'll start a collection of your own. The site format is a bit different. A boutique store with a small collection of antique maps and rare prints. These can be purchased directly. In addition there's online help and resources to assist the next tribe of collectors. A Facebook group "Antique Map Collectors" has members almost daily asking is something original or reproduction. This is quickly followed by what do we think the maps current value is or how do we know its an authentic item? Collectors always have questions and the aim here is to provide some clear practical answers. Some content will be available on the resources page, delivered using online articles, guides and video tutorials. Maybe you'll discover something beautiful! |
