Description

This vintage map of London shows the capital of Britain as it was centuries before, offering an insight into the history of this metropolitan city. The intricate map is further embellished with copper leaf, a technique our skilled artists use to enhance already beautiful compositions and transform them into absolutely stunning pieces of art. This completely manual process involves sheets of real copper that are carefully applied to a selected portion of the artwork and then sealing the metal to protect it from tarnishing. The gilded area of the map is the River Thames. This map is a perfect piece to showcase as a central point of the space.

At Vintage Print Gallery, we do our best to offer the most interesting, sophisticated and unique pieces of art to our loyal customers. While many of our offerings come from painstakingly collected antiques, such as hundreds of years old atlases, photo albums and herbariums, we have also gone a step further and now offer remastered pieces, as well as original art. Our original art takes inspiration from our existing catalog and builds on it. Our remastered pieces bring new colorways, sharper images and more intricate details from restored vintage works of art. Additionally, we also offer silver, gold and copper leaf enhanced art, with real metal applied to the prints.
