The Antique Map Shop

Dave was awesome to work with when I purchased my map! My map got held up in US Postal's hands for months. I ended up buying a different one and once USPS finally delivered, Dave took that map back with full credit. Great customer service!!!

My wife and I greatly enjoyed multiple visits to this quiant map shop on Pulteney Bridge. We found the proprieter and his staff tremendously knowledgeable and friendly, which was very welcome. We were new to the world of antique maps, and often found antique map shops to be intimidating, with pretentious folks who wouldn't make us feel welcome. David and Andrew had completely the opposite effect, making us feel welcome and relaxed as they talked to us about the maps that they had, their origins, their authors, and the interesting foibles that make each old map unique. I can't recommend this map shop highly enough to anyone who has an interest in maps!

Fourth map I have framed from this company. Badly mounted (matted), badly fastened to mount, definitely not correct or remotely to Fine Art Trade standard or similar body. Mounts (mats) are cream core (cheap) full of lignin and not PH neutral. For a little outlay and knowledge the practice described above could be so much better. Probably stuck in a timewarp without any understanding that these practices just aren't acceptable. And unless you are aware this type of mounting just damages the map in the longterm.
