I found some old cards: would you be interested in buying them?

Thank you, but we do not have the technical capability to scan large formats to then offer them as reproductions.

Do you sell frames?

No, because the risk of breakage is too high during transport.

However, all the sizes offered for posters are standard (30x40, 50x70, 60x60, 70x70, 70x100...) and you will easily be able to find a frame in large and small home decor stores.

We offer (online and in-store) wooden magnetic poster hangers, if you are looking for an alternative to a frame.

Where do you make your posters and paintings?

Our posters are printed to order, in our workshop-boutique in Bordeaux.

Our paintings are made in a partner workshop in Europe.

What materials do you use for the posters and paintings?

MAPS & POSTERS

Our maps & posters are printed on FSC® certified 200gsm fine art paper that is natural in color and feel, with a slight texture. This paper is ideal for long-lasting durability!

Our exceptional maps, meanwhile, are printed on FSC® certified 280gsm hammered art paper that faithfully reproduces dark, intense colors and enhances the visual while preserving its vintage appearance.

SCHOOL MAPS

Our school maps are printed on cotton canvas and feature two eyelets so they can be easily hung on the wall, just like in the old school days!

All our maps are sold rolled in a rigid protective tube.

ALUMINUM WALL ART

Our wall art is printed on brushed aluminum: thanks to this material, it has a slightly striated surface, and the unprinted areas reveal the raw brushed aluminum, which reflects the light and shines. The colors take on a more vivid and metallic hue.

WOODEN WALL ART

For the wooden wall art, we chose Ougbô wood: it offers a warm tone and reveals the tree's knots and grain, harmonizing with the printed visuals.

This is my first time placing an order: what guarantees do I have?
  • Posters are 100% made in France in our workshop-boutique in Bordeaux.
  • Your artwork is checked by our team in Bordeaux before shipping or personal delivery.
  • A team available by phone during the week and by email, ready to help in the event of a damaged package or if you wish to exercise your right of withdrawal.
  • Shipments are made in rigid tubes or reinforced cardboard, prepared and checked by our team in Bordeaux.
