Maps & Atlas Auctions
At Gorringes, we handle the sale of antique maps and atlases, offering collectors, private sellers and estates a considered and knowledgeable route to market.
Antique maps occupy a fascinating position between art and documents. They are decorative objects in their own right, yet also records of how the world was understood and imagined at the time of their making. From early printed county maps and sea charts through to hand-coloured atlas plates and decorative world maps, this is a field that appeals equally to the dedicated cartographic collector and those drawn simply to the beauty of the objects themselves.
Each map or atlas is carefully researched and presented, with fully illustrated catalogue entries marketed online to our established network of private collectors, specialist dealers and international buyers.
We welcome enquiries on single sheets and complete atlases alike, and are well placed to assist with valuations for sale, probate and insurance purposes.
