About the Item
A fascinating and richly detailed antique map of Cumberland County in northwest England, drawn and published by the celebrated English cartographer John Speed, dated 1610. This early 17th-century engraving captures the historic landscape with remarkable clarity, depicting the ancient city of Carlisle, its surrounding topography, heraldic coats of arms, and decorative elements emblematic of Speed's style.
Hand-colored and printed on laid paper, this map includes vignettes, a city plan of Carlisle, Roman antiquities, and historical notes, reflecting the era's fascination with classical history and topographical scholarship. The decorative title cartouche and maritime illustrations further enhance its aesthetic appeal.
Professionally matted and presented in a contemporary giltwood frame with conservation glass, this piece is both an exceptional historical document and a decorative focal point.
A rare and evocative example of early English cartography. Ideal for collectors of antiquarian prints, historians, and lovers of classical design!

Mid-18th Century Indian Court Painting of Krishna and Radha, Gouache with Gold
Located in Middleburg, VA
A superbly detailed mid-18th-century Indian miniature court painting, executed in gouache heightened with gold on handmade paper. Originating from Rajasthan circa 1760, this exquisite artwork captures a serene palace scene featuring the Hindu deity Krishna with Radha and accompanying Gopis in a lush, architectural setting. The composition is rich in symbolism, narrative depth, and emotional subtlety, hallmarks of classical Rajput painting.
The figures are adorned with traditional garments, rendered in delicate pastel tones with intricate patterns and gilt accents. The architectural elements, marble pavilions, domes, carved screens, and floral gardens, are meticulously executed, offering a vivid impression of royal leisure and divine romance.
Set against a tree-lined courtyard with peacocks and floral motifs, the visual rhythm is both vibrant and harmonious. The painting is professionally mounted in a deep tan linen mat and presented in an elegant gold-gilt frame with black detailing, complementing the composition's refined warmth and historic gravitas.
