Modern Distressed World Map Wall Art

This item is a decorative world map printed onto a rectangular medium, likely canvas or a composite board, and housed in a thin, dark wood or wood-imitation frame. The artwork features a monochromatic color palette consisting of varying shades of charcoal grey, black, and off-white/cream. The design utilizes a 'distressed' or watercolor-wash aesthetic, where the continents are rendered with soft, feathered edges and internal textures that mimic stone or aged plaster rather than precise cartographic lines. At the top center, there is a circular cartouche containing the text 'MAP of the WORLD,' stylized to appear as an antique title block. A small compass rose is visible in the lower-left ocean area. The piece is a contemporary production (21st century) designed to fit modern farmhouse or transitional interior design styles. The frame appears to be in good condition with sharp corners, though there is a noticeable glare across the right side of the protective surface, suggesting it may be covered by glass or high-gloss acrylic. There are no signs of significant foxing, tearing, or structural damage, though the distressed patterns are part of the intentional artistic manufacture rather than actual age-related patina. The scale appears medium-to-large, suitable for display over furniture or as a focal point on a wall.
