Typically when one thinks of decorating with maps, a study or office comes to mind....which is certainly a most appropriate room for maps where one can demonstrate their love of history and travel, and in which this room above so beautifully demonstrates. However, maps can be featured in any part of the home....
Here are some examples of maps for sale at the Arader Gallery, Denver location. Please contact us for prices and more information.
