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, turns ornament into the principal subject. Against a pale ground, green, orange and black lines unfurl through a carefully centred arrangement of loops, tendrils and curling arabesques. The forms are abstract yet faintly botanical: they seem to grow, coil and divide like stylised stems, while their symmetry gives the composition an underlying geometric discipline. Warm orange motifs punctuate the cooler green structure, with dark contours lending each curve unusual clarity.
Mucha was among the defining artists of Art Nouveau, the international movement that reshaped European visual culture around the turn of the twentieth century. The Czech artist became especially renowned for poster designs in which figures, lettering and decorative borders were brought together through sinuous line and flattened pattern. Here, however, narrative and human presence have been removed. What remains is a concentrated study of the ornamental vocabulary associated with his work: rhythmic contour, natural form transformed by design, and the belief that decoration could carry as much visual interest as a conventional subject.
A closer look
The eye is drawn first to the central orange arabesque, which sits among interconnected green and black curves like a clasp within a larger network. Some lines double back into tight loops; others open into broader, leaf-like sweeps. Subtle shifts in thickness keep these contours from appearing mechanically uniform. Although the composition is predominantly flat, small areas of overlap create just enough shadow and separation to suggest that one ornamental strand passes over another.
In the upper section, slender green curves rise and bend with an almost calligraphic elegance. Their freedom is balanced below by two more emphatic orange-and-black forms arranged symmetrically. These lower motifs are denser and more compact, giving the design visual weight at its base. The contrast between the geometrical precision of the arrangement and the organic movement of its lines is central to its character: order is always present, but never allowed to become rigid.
A thin green border contains the activity without crowding it, while small circular details in the corners echo the rounded turns of the main design. In the lower right, the number ‘59’ appears inside a small circle. It is an unobtrusive element, yet it reinforces the sense of a decorative study presented for close examination. The broad areas of pale negative space are equally important, allowing even the most intricate loops to remain legible.
Context and significance
Art Nouveau artists frequently looked to plants, vines and flowers, not simply as subjects to copy but as sources of structure. Stems could become borders, petals could generate repeating patterns, and the growth of a tendril could suggest the movement of a line across a page. Mucha’s design exemplifies this transformation. Its motifs do not describe a particular species; instead, they distil the vitality of organic growth into a controlled ornamental system.
The work also belongs to a period in which the distinctions between fine and applied art were being actively reconsidered. Posters, typography, furnishings and decorative schemes could all participate in a coherent artistic environment. By isolating arabesque forms from any narrative setting, Mucha makes the mechanics of that approach especially visible. The result is both an elegant abstract composition and a revealing demonstration of how Art Nouveau found expressive potential in line itself.
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.

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.
