Guida alle dimensioni della mappa
In generale, le mappe sembrano migliori a dimensioni maggiori, in particolare le mappe con molti dettagli. Poiché ogni ordine è realizzato a mano, è disponibile dimensionamento personalizzato: seleziona 'dimensione personalizzata' nella pagina del prodotto e compila le dimensioni, oppure inseriscile nelle note dell'ordine nella schermata di pagamento.
Per aiutarti a scegliere la dimensione giusta, ecco alcune delle mie dimensioni di mappa 'standard' affiancate, in orientamento verticale e orizzontale.
| 16x12in (40x30cm) | 20x16in (50x40cm) | 24x18in (60x45cm) |
36x24in (90x60cm) |
| 12x16in (30x40cm) | 16x20in (40x50cm) | 18x24in (45x60cm) |
24x36in (60x90cm) |
Acquisto di mappe incorniciate
Le nostre cornici standard aggiungono circa 2 cm (0.75 in) a ciascun lato della mappa. Quindi, una mappa 45x60 cm sarà 49x64 cm quando incorniciata, oppure una mappa 24x36 in sarà 25.5x37.5 in.
Le mappe più grandi oltre 125 cm/50 in di solito hanno cornici più larghe, e cornici personalizzate sono disponibili se stai cercando una larghezza o uno stile di cornice specifico
Acquisto di mappe non incorniciate
Se acquisti una mappa antica non incorniciata da me e intendi incorniciarla tu stesso, ti prego di leggere questa pagina per informazioni importanti sull'incorniciatura della tua mappa.
Linee guida generali sulle dimensioni
In generale, la dimensione che vedi nel negozio è esattamente accurata.
Quindi, ad esempio, se acquisti una mappa di 18x24 pollici, dovresti acquistare una cornice che 'si adatta all'opera d'arte' che è 18x24 pollici. Se ordini una mappa di 60x90 cm, dovresti acquistare una cornice che 'si adatta all'opera d'arte' che è 60x90 cm.
Se vedi una mappa che ha una dimensione insolita, come 24x11 pollici (o 61x29 cm), ti consiglio vivamente di aspettare che la mappa arrivi prima di realizzare o ordinare una cornice online. Queste mappe possono variare in dimensione di pochi millimetri, ed è molto frustrante se non si adattano alla tua cornice!
Se hai bisogno di una mappa che abbia una dimensione esatta in centimetri o pollici, ti prego di contattarmi. Per mappe più grandi oltre 50 in/125 cm posso personalizzare la dimensione gratuitamente.
Mappe grandi
Se stai incorniciando la mappa da solo, ti preghiamo di ordinare la mappa e aspettare che arrivi. Poi misura la mappa e ordina una cornice adatta.
Se porti la tua mappa a un corniciaio locale, loro misureranno la mappa per te e poi realizzeranno la cornice adatta.
Per mappe più grandi, assicurati di incollarle correttamente o diventeranno ondulate e con bolle dopo poco tempo. In alternativa, saremmo felici di incorniciarla per te!

Continua a leggereAlphonse Mucha’s Abstract Design Based on Arabesques, created in 1900, dispenses with the graceful figures and theatrical lettering familiar from his celebrated posters. In their place is an intricate choreography of ornament: gold and umber curves coil, overlap and unfurl across a pale ground, interrupted by a slender blue accent in the upper right. The design is largely abstract, yet its lines retain an organic vitality, suggesting tendrils, stems or ribbons without resolving into any single identifiable form.
Mucha was a Czech artist whose career flourished in fin-de-siècle Paris, where his posters, illustrations and decorative designs helped define the public face of Art Nouveau. That movement sought to dissolve distinctions between fine and applied art, carrying aesthetic invention into advertising, books, interiors and everyday objects. Made at the opening of a new century, this study reflects the period’s fascination with ornament as a complete visual language. The arabesque—an undulating, interlaced motif with a long history in decorative art—becomes here not a border or embellishment, but the composition’s principal subject.
A closer look
The eye is first caught by the broad golden line circling through the centre. Its movement is continuous but never mechanically repetitive: curves tighten into spirals, open into long sweeps and pass around neighbouring elements. Fine linear details follow parts of its course, adding subtle internal pattern and making the larger form feel layered. Although the arrangement appears spontaneous, its weight is carefully distributed through the tall format, with the densest passages held close to the central axis.
In the lower left, a dark brown curl provides a compact visual anchor. Its deeper tone and closely wound spiral counter the more expansive golden trajectories above it. The elongated blue line at upper right performs a different role, cutting coolly through the warm palette and tapering towards its ends. This small chromatic interruption prevents the design from becoming tonally uniform, while also sharpening the sense that each line possesses its own direction and pace.
Much of the effect depends upon the pale beige ground. Rather than merely filling the spaces between motifs, it creates generous intervals of negative space through which the curves can breathe. Thin outer rules and restrained corner ornaments give the otherwise fluid composition a quiet architectural order. At the bottom right, the number ‘18’ appears within a small circle—an unobtrusive graphic detail that contrasts with the sweeping freedom of the surrounding arabesques.
Context and significance
Mucha’s reputation rests partly on his ability to integrate figure, lettering, pattern and frame into unified graphic schemes. This design isolates one essential component of that vocabulary: the sinuous line. Freed from narrative and commercial text, the curve itself becomes expressive, demonstrating how closely Art Nouveau decoration depended upon rhythm, contour and repetition. The result is not geometric abstraction in the later modernist sense; its forms remain indebted to the growth, asymmetry and pliancy associated with the natural world.
The limited palette further clarifies that structure. Gold, brown, blue and warm cream are organised as distinct areas rather than modelled into conventional pictorial depth. Overlapping contours nevertheless produce a slight spatial ambiguity, as though the ornament were weaving above and below itself. Both controlled and restless, Abstract Design Based on Arabesques reveals the disciplined construction beneath Mucha’s apparently effortless decorative flow.
Choosing the right size and finish
Artwork can feel intimate at smaller sizes and dramatically more architectural at larger ones. Use the room preview, model image and size guide to see how the proportions and scale will work in your space.
If you need an exact size, specialist framing or help planning a larger display, ask our workshop for advice.
The model in the listing images is holding the 16x20in (40x50cm) version of this art print.
Where personalisation is available, you can add a short title or dedication, or one considered visual detail. See examples of personalised artwork.
Choose Original to retain the colour and character of the source artwork, or Aged for a warmer, more antique appearance. See examples of our Aged artwork.
Every piece is produced to archival standards using fade-resistant pigment inks on acid-free matte art paper. Choose an art print, framed art print or framed canvas using the finish options above.
Framed art prints use crystal-clear optical acrylic for excellent clarity, lower weight and safer delivery than glass. Each piece arrives professionally framed and ready to hang.
Selected artworks can be produced at statement sizes up to 3 metres (10ft). Custom sizing and specialist framing are also available. If the exact option you need is not listed, contact our workshop.
This artwork is also available as a float framed canvas, sometimes known as a shadow gap framed canvas or canvas floater. The work is printed on artist's cotton canvas and then stretched over a handmade box frame. We then "float" the canvas inside a wooden frame, which is available in a range of colours (black, dark brown, oak, antique gold and white). This is a wonderful way to present an art print without glazing in front. See some examples of float framed canvas art and explore the differences between my different finishes.

Personalised and customised pieces usually take an extra 1–2 working days, because we prepare your design and send it to you for approval before printing.
Very large framed orders can take a little longer, as they need extra care in production and delivery.
Every order is carefully packaged: unframed prints are sent in a strong protective tube, while framed pieces are securely packed with protective materials around the frame.
If you need your order by a particular date, please contact us before ordering. We’ll check the best production route and delivery option for your location.

Our standard frame is a gallery-style black ash hardwood frame, with a simple, modern look. It is approximately 20mm (0.8in) wide. You can also view some lovely customer photos of framed maps and art.
We use super-clear acrylic glazing, also known as Perspex or Acrylite, instead of traditional glass. It is lighter, safer, and has lower reflectivity, giving the artwork a clearer, cleaner appearance.
Six standard frame colours are available at no extra cost: black, dark brown, dark grey, oak, white, and antique gold. Custom framing and mounting/matting is also available for customers looking for something more specific.
Most maps, art prints, and illustrations are also available as a framed canvas. We use matte cotton canvas, stretch it over a sustainably sourced wooden box frame, and then float the piece within a wooden outer frame. The finished result is beautifully presented, with no glazing between you and the artwork.
All frames are supplied ready to hang, with either string or brackets fitted to the back. Very large frames will include heavy-duty hanging plates and/or a mounting baton. If you have any questions, please get in touch.
We can also supply old maps and artwork on canvas, foam board, cotton rag, and other materials.
If you would prefer to frame your map or artwork yourself, please read our size guide before ordering.

Ogni stampa artistica restaurata inizia dall’opera originale dell’artista—mai da una sostituzione generata dall’IA.
Il nostro studio di Londra lavora a partire da materiali di origine accuratamente selezionati da musei, biblioteche, archivi e collezioni private. Restauriamo i danni dovuti all’età, i colori sbiaditi e le imperfezioni di riproduzione, preservando al contempo la composizione, il tratto del pennello, il segno, la texture e il carattere d’epoca dell’artista.
Non utilizziamo l’IA generativa per ridisegnare, reinterpretare o inventare l’opera. Il restauro digitale viene impiegato solo per recuperare e riprodurre l’opera originale nel modo più fedele possibile.
Una volta restaurata, l’opera master viene preparata per il formato e la finitura da te scelti. Il tuo pezzo viene quindi stampato e, se selezionato, incorniciato vicino alla destinazione di consegna.
Le nostre stampe artistiche giclée utilizzano carta opaca archivistica senza acidi da 200 g/m² e inchiostri pigmentati resistenti allo sbiadimento, per una finitura ricca e di qualità museale. Le stampe artistiche incorniciate utilizzano acrilico ottico cristallino e arrivano pronte da appendere.
Sono disponibili anche tele incorniciate ed edizioni speciali su cotone-rag. Scopri di più sui nostri materiali e finiture.
Restauriamo e produciamo mappe e stampe d’arte dal 1984, e garantiamo personalmente ogni pezzo.
Ogni ordine è coperto dalla nostra garanzia di 10 anni e dalla garanzia di consegna senza danni. Se il vostro pezzo arriva danneggiato, lo sostituiremo o lo rifaremo gratuitamente. Se qualsiasi altro aspetto non fosse conforme, contattate il nostro team di laboratorio e provvederemo tempestivamente a risolvere il problema.
Per tutti i dettagli, consultate la nostra politica su resi e rimborsi.
