Welcome to Maps of Antiquity


Antique maps are a treasury of historic information. The progressive development of places can be traced by comparing maps published years apart. Changes can be seen in county and state boundaries. New cities appear and old ones grow. Maps record the effect people have had on the land by exploring, adding roads, cutting forests, and rerouting waterways.

You can own a piece of history! Maps make great unique gifts. No other category of antique or collectible is as reasonably priced, or as often found in as good condition for their age as antique maps. Our inventory includes maps from all over the world with a concentration of maps and charts from the northeastern U.S. We also do custom framing and appraisals.

We currently have over 4,000 maps in stock
dating back as early as the 1600's.

  • Worldwide Historical Maps
  • Celestial Maps
  • Nautical Charts
  • New England Maps
