Nova Totius Terrarum Orbis Geographica ac Hydrographica Tabula (Old World Map Reproduction)

This item is a framed reproduction of an antique world map, specifically titled "Nova Totius Terrarum Orbis Geographica ac Hydrographica Tabula." The map is presented in a prominent golden-yellow and brown color scheme, giving it an aged and luxurious appearance. It features two prominent circular hemispheres depicting the Eastern and Western worlds, meticulously detailed with continents, oceans, and various geographical notations in a style characteristic of 17th-century cartography. The map is richly ornamented around the central cartographic elements with allegorical figures, mythological creatures, heraldic crests, and intricate floral or vine motifs, which are also rendered in similar golden and brownish hues. The borders of the map itself appear to have a distressed or antique finish, with some areas showing a subtle red or maroon undertone peeking through. The map is set within a black or very dark blue matting, providing a strong contrast that highlights the golden tones of the map. This matting is enclosed by a substantial, ornate gilded frame. The frame features a classic profile with inner and outer beading and a slightly distressed or antique gold finish, suggesting either age or an intentional treatment to replicate an older aesthetic. There are visible reflections on the protective glass or acrylic covering the map, indicating that the item is displayed behind a transparent layer. The overall condition appears to be good, with no obvious signs of significant damage to the visible surface of the map or frame, though minor wear consistent with display might be present on closer inspection.
