Ireland Antique Map – Royaume d’Irlande, De Vaugondy, Venice 1778
Located in Langweer, NL
Antique Map of Ireland – Royaume d’Irlande, Robert de Vaugondy, Venice 1778 Description: This finely engraved 18th-century map depicts the Kingdom of Ireland under the title Royaume d’Irlande divisé en ses quatre Provinces et subdivisé en Comtés. The island is shown in impressive detail, with the traditional four provinces—Ulster, Connaught, Leinster, and Munster—clearly delineated and subdivided into counties by contemporary outline coloring. Coastal features, rivers, towns, and road networks are rendered with the clarity and balance typical of late Enlightenment French cartography. The map was drawn by Robert de Vaugondy, one of the most influential mapmakers of the 18th century and royal geographer to the King of France. This Venetian edition was published in 1778 by Paolo Santini, who issued a number of high-quality Italian editions of leading French cartographic works. Santini’s publications are prized for their crisp engraving, generous format, and restrained coloring, making them particularly attractive for framing. The decorative maritime cartouche, left uncolored as issued, provides a refined visual counterbalance to the densely engraved map surface. Longitude and latitude scales frame the composition, while inset coastal details along the eastern seaboard emphasize Ireland’s maritime orientation and strategic importance during the Georgian period. The overall aesthetic is elegant rather than ornate, lending the map strong decorative appeal for both classic and contemporary interiors. This map sits at the intersection of political geography and decorative cartography, reflecting Ireland’s administrative structure in the late 18th century while remaining visually calm and highly legible. It works exceptionally well as a stand-alone wall piece in libraries, studies, hallways, or heritage-inspired interiors, and also pairs beautifully with maps of England or Scotland from the same period. Condition report: Good antique condition. Light, even age toning throughout. Original centerfold as issued. Minor handling wear and soft creases consistent with age. Contemporary outline coloring well preserved. No major tears or losses. Framing tips: This map benefits from a wide mat to emphasize its scale and clarity. Recommended combinations include a dark walnut or ebonized frame with an ivory or light parchment mat for a traditional library look, or a slim black frame with an off-white mat for a cleaner, architectural presentation. UV glass is advised to preserve the original coloring. Technique: Copper engraving with contemporary outline coloring Maker: Robert de Vaugondy, published by Paolo Santini, Venice, 1778 Keywords: antique map of Ireland, antique Ireland map, Royaume d’Irlande map, Robert de Vaugondy Ireland, Santini Venice map, 18th century Ireland map, hand colored antique map, Georgian era cartography, historic Ireland wall map, European antique map, French cartographic school, Italian engraved map, copper engraved map, decorative antique map, neutral antique wall art, classic library wall decor, historic wall decor, heritage interior art, gentleman’s library wall art, study wall decor, old world interior decor, English country house style, refined wall map, vintage European wall art, timeless wall decor, architectural interior art, framed antique map...

Antique German 15th- 16th Century Infantry Armour with Bascinet, Sword Halberd
Located in Doha, QA
This extraordinary and remarkably well-preserved ensemble represents a complete set of late medieval German infantry armour, dating from the 15th to early 16th century. Forged entirely from high-quality steel plates and joined with traditional leather straps for proper articulation and fit, the armour embodies the superb craftsmanship and engineering of the German armourers of the period. The helmet is a finely made European bascinet, the classic combat helmet of the era. It features a gracefully pointed visor and hinged cheek plates, designed to provide both excellent facial protection and freedom of movement, while allowing sufficient ventilation and audibility during combat. The bascinet retains its original character and displays the subtle fluted detailing that became a hallmark of German armour-making in the transitional phase from the Gothic to the early Renaissance styles. The suit is mounted on an antique wooden mannequin stand measuring 175 cm in height and includes its original linen undergarment and chainmail shirt...
