Written by the company

We were the first retailer to offer reproduction maps online, and we remain unbeaten on both price and quality. Every fine art reproduction of our vintage and antique maps is produced individually to your order using a state-of-the-art, patented printing process known as giclée (from the French word meaning “to spray”). Working at the highest levels of precision, the process delivers a fine stream of ink in 12 separate colours to saturate the fibres of our specially sourced UK made 190gsm Textured Art Paper—capturing the look and even the feel of an original historic document. This method also provides outstanding archival performance, meeting the highest industry standards for density, colour gamut, tonal graduation, and image sharpness. The result is clean, accurate colour and exceptionally fine detail. We use premium-quality inks designed to remain true for 100 years or more, so your old map will meet and often exceed museum-quality expectations. It’s a genuine investment for your home or office: beautiful today, and made to be admired by generations to come. The same advanced printing technology is also applied to our clock faces, ensuring the same crisp detail, richness of colour, and premium finish across every piece.

Paddington Station Clock

I ordered a Paddington Station Clock on 8th August 2020. The website says dispatch in 7 days but it took 12 because they actually make these clocks to order for you. The website should say that.

It arrived within a few days after, very well wrapped by tracked post.

The clock is actually outstanding, of a quality you see at a railway station rather than some faux copy. The website does not really explain just how good these clocks are and the hand made quality of it. It has a standard heavy duty mechanism at the back with a normal AA battery.

I looked at clocks all over, most faux copies of old clocks at not much less in price to this before I bought it and wow, its good.

Limited selection of historic old maps reproductions - nice looking - 1500s to 1800s, could make nice ornament map picture for a wall

(oldmap co uk ... The Old Map & Clock Company of Great Britain. Located at Sennen Cove, Penzance, Cornwall, TR19 7DF, according to the website).
.
A limited selection of historic old maps reproductions - nice looking - 1500s to 1800s, could make nice ornament map picture for a wall, but not so useful in detail. They also make reproduction antique style clocks. I have not tried ordering anything from them.
.
Various UK / England / Scotland / Wales historic old county maps and a few town maps.
.
Also some European city historic old maps.
.
Various other historic old world, and sea maps and charts.
.
A few historic old maps of South America and North America (pre-dating before USA).
.
Was not what I was looking for – I found "old-maps co uk" to be better for old historic 1800s and 1900s maps of UK including OS maps (Ordnance Survey Maps).
