Antique celestial and lunar maps are a fascinating testament to the history of astronomy and cartography. Produced as early as the 7th century in China, they reflect knowledge and representations of the cosmos at a time when science and imagination were still intertwined. These maps of the sky and the Moon, often richly illustrated, show the constellations, the movements of the stars, the lunar phases, and even the first surveys of the lunar surface. They appeal to science history enthusiasts, collectors, and those seeking refined and original decoration.
My collection of celestial maps is part of a larger collection of antique maps that allows you to travel through space as well as time. Alongside representations of the sky, you will also find on Votre Carte Ancienne, antique world maps, antique maps of Europe or even vintage maps of France.
