Vintage Bartholomew World Wall Map

Vintage Bartholomew World Wall Map

A large vintage Bartholomew world wall map, with beautiful faded turquoise seas, aged cream landmasses and a beautiful original wood top hanging rail.

Published by John Bartholomew & Son Ltd, Edinburgh, this political world map includes physical relief detail and a scale of 1:20,000,000.

The colours have softened beautifully with age, giving the map a lovely timeworn quality. The original printed detail, old place names and contrasting colours, together with the beautiful wooden top hanging rail, make it a striking decorative piece for an industrial interior, studio, study or commercial space.

The map has considerable age-related wear, including creasing, tears, surface deterioration and losses around the edges. The hanging rails show wear too. Please study the photographs carefully, as these form part of the description.

A characterful vintage piece with plenty of history and presence.

Size is approx 153cm high x 159cm wide
