About the Item

Antique Persia Map Wall Art – Iran Afghanistan Beluchistan, Rand McNally Description: This finely colored antique atlas map presents Persia (modern-day Iran), Afghanistan, and Beluchistan in a richly detailed yet visually balanced composition. Soft pastel color washes clearly define political boundaries, while dense engraved place names and subtle relief shading give the map depth and texture without visual heaviness. On the reverse a map of countries around the China Sea, like the Philippines, Hainan, Vietnam, Siam (Thailand), Malaysia, Singapore, Borneo, Sarawak, Cambodia and more. Issued by Rand, McNally Co. in the late 19th century, the map reflects the moment when modern scientific cartography met decorative atlas design. Persia occupies the central field, framed by the Caspian region to the north and the Indian frontier to the east, creating a strong and harmonious horizontal layout ideal for wall display. The restrained palette—rose pinks, pale yellows, sage greens, and warm neutrals—makes this map particularly suitable for contemporary interiors. It reads as elegant wall art rather than a purely academic object, appealing to interior designers, collectors, and travelers alike. Printed on original period atlas paper, the sheet retains the authentic surface and character expected of a genuine antique map. Once framed, it becomes a refined statement piece for a study, library, or living space. Condition report: Light age toning consistent with age. Minor edge wear and gentle handling marks from original atlas binding. Overall clean and well preserved. Framing tips: Excellent in a walnut, oak, or black frame with an ivory or light sand-colored mat. Museum glass recommended for clarity and protection. Technique: Color lithograph Maker: Rand, McNally Co., United States, late 19th century Keywords: antique persia map, iran wall art, afghanistan antique map, beluchistan map, middle east map, antique atlas map, rand mcnally map, historical iran map, vintage geography print, decorative antique map, travel wall art, library decor
