This past weekend my husband and I stopped by a little store in our area while we were running around to yard sales. I had looked through the whole store with a one-year-old on my hip and on the way out I saw it…
….a foiled world map (framed nonetheless)! The map is titled at the bottom World Map by Peter Schenk the Elder 1645-1715. Upon looking up the name I found out Peter Schenk the Elder was a renowned German engraver and cartographer during the medieval times.
I have really been loving all the maps and globes I’ve seen lately in the home decor world. I even jokingly threatened Stacey that I was going to drive over and steal this globe that she used to accessorize a recent desk makeover!

This print will be the perfect addition to our home office when it is all finished. We’re going for a typographer/drafting studio feel similar to my Letterpress Place inspiration board…

How much you pay for the map world
$12
I just purchased the same map, but in gold leaf, very beautiful!
I’ve seen them posted for sell at $200, and just over $300.
I’m debating if I want to keep it, or sell it. I bought. It at goodwill for $15.
What a great deal! It is a beautiful map. We painted the frame of ours a bright blue and hung it in our boys’ bedroom.
