World map tapestries
Since antiquity we have sought to make sense of the world around us. The development of charts and maps has echoed this desire as well as providing an insight into the knowledge possessed by humans at different times throughout history.
Given that maps in the past were very valuable objects, it is no surprise that they were treated in much the same way as art, as objects to be cherished by their owners. In addition many cartographers were accomplished draftsmen due to the nature of their profession, and often embellished their work with decorative details such as sea creatures and mythical gods.
The following world map tapestries demonstrate this artistic element of antique
cartography, and show that antique map wall hangings are amongst the most
impressive forms of textile art.
