Antique Map of Sumatra Bangka Belitung and Riau Dutch East Indies 19th Century This large and highly detailed antique map depicts the island of Sumatra together with the surrounding islands of Bangka, Belitung, and the Riau archipelago during the late Dutch colonial period. The map presents Sumatra in full length from north to south, showing the dramatic natural geography of the island alongside its political and administrative organization under Dutch rule. Note: We do not sell the frame but only the sheet. Mountain ranges, river systems, coastal profiles, inland roads, settlements, and colonial districts are all rendered with remarkable precision. The map clearly illustrates the strategic importance of Sumatra within the Dutch East Indies, including key ports, plantation zones, and regional divisions. The Strait of Malacca and adjacent maritime routes are prominently shown, underscoring the island’s role in international trade and colonial logistics. Original hand-applied color highlights administrative boundaries and coastal contours, creating a striking contrast against the finely engraved topographic detail. The palette remains refined and well balanced, with soft greens, reds, and yellows enhancing both legibility and decorative appeal. The overall composition is elegant, authoritative, and highly suitable for wall display. This map represents Sumatra at a pivotal moment in its colonial history, just prior to the major political changes of the twentieth century. It offers not only visual beauty but also important historical insight into the infrastructure, governance, and territorial organization of colonial Indonesia. Highly desirable for collectors of Southeast Asian cartography, Indonesian history, plantation-era studies, and large-format colonial wall maps. It also works exceptionally well in libraries, offices, boardrooms, and curated interiors where scale and historical depth are appreciated. Condition report Very good overall condition with light, even age toning and scattered minor foxing consistent with age. Original color remains fresh and well preserved. No major tears, no heavy staining, and no losses. Clean, strong impression. We do not sell the frame but only the sheet! Framing tips This wide-format map is best framed with soft ivory or warm light-grey museum matting and a slim dark walnut, bronze, or restrained gilt frame. UV-protective museum glass is strongly recommended. The panoramic format works especially well above desks, sideboards, and along long wall sections.

These interesting inkwells were crafted in Britain between the Victorian period and early to mid-20th century. The works have been created from horse hooves, applied with sterling silver mounts. Each hoof has been set onto a silver horseshoe and features a silver top and lid. Two of the tops have been engraved to imitate real horse hair, while the third is more simple, with banded ornament. All three have been given covers, two of which feature commemorative inscriptions. One lid states, ‘The Grey/1907-1917’ — presumably the name of the favourite racehorse, whose hoof this is — and another reads, ‘Mavourneen/ Died June 29th / Aged 53’. ‘Mavourneen’ is an Irish Gaelic word meaning ‘my beloved’. The dedicatee’s age of 53 implies that they were a human, perhaps a jokey, or racehorse owner. The lids open up onto a silver-lined interior, intended to be used for storing ink as part of a desk arrangement. The inkwells are stamped, on their underside, with silver hallmarks and maker’s marks, ‘J.T.’ and ‘C & CS’. This set of three horse hoof inkwells...

Title: Antique 17th-Century Map of Guizhou Province, China – "Qveichev" by Blaeu, Richly Illustrated and Colored Description: This remarkable map of Guizhou Province, historically known as "Qveichev," was created by Johannes Blaeu and published in 1655 as part of his *Novus Atlas Sinensis*. This atlas, developed in collaboration with Jesuit missionary Martino Martini, marked the first Western attempt at a comprehensive geographic representation of China. Blaeu’s map offers a detailed depiction of the mountainous terrain, rivers, and towns of Guizhou, a province known for its rugged beauty and cultural diversity. The map is adorned with two decorative cartouches, each reflecting the artistic and cultural influences of the time. The title cartouche in the lower-right corner features two figures in traditional Chinese attire, symbolizing the blend of European cartographic mastery and Chinese heritage. The upper-left corner includes a secondary cartouche with an explanatory key, adding a touch of elegance to the map’s functionality. Towns, mountains, and rivers are meticulously labeled in Latin, showcasing Blaeu’s dedication to detail and accuracy. Crafted using the copperplate engraving technique, this map demonstrates exceptional precision. The hand-coloring enhances its visual appeal, highlighting borders and geographic features with vibrant tones. Blaeu’s work is not only a tool for geographic understanding but also a piece of art that embodies the spirit of exploration during the Dutch Golden Age. Guizhou Province, historically known as "Qveichev," is renowned for its breathtaking natural landscapes, rich ethnic diversity, and historical significance. As one of China's most mountainous regions, Guizhou is characterized by dramatic karst formations, lush green hills, and cascading waterfalls. The province is also home to a variety of ethnic minority groups, including the Miao, Dong, and Bouyei, whose traditions, colorful costumes, and vibrant festivals make the region culturally significant. Famous features and important places include Huangguoshu Waterfall, one of Asia's largest and most iconic waterfalls, located near the city of Anshun. Zhijin Cave, a vast karst cave system, is celebrated for its stunning stalactites and stalagmites. Kaili is known as the cultural center of Miao traditions, with picturesque villages and celebrated festivals. Zunyi holds historical importance for the Zunyi Conference, a pivotal event in the Chinese Communist Party's history. Fanjing Mountain, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, stands out for its unique biodiversity and sacred Buddhist sites. Keywords: antique map of China, Guizhou map, Qveichev, 17th-century China map...
