Written by the company

Old Town Magick is an independent art and interiors studio in Edinburgh, inspired by the atmosphere, history and mystery of old European cities.

Our collections draw inspiration from historic symbolism, nature studies, sacred iconography, dark academia aesthetics and the layered beauty of antique spaces. Alongside our art prints, Old Town Magick also sources distinctive antique pieces and decorative objects that bring a sense of story and atmosphere into the home. Everything we create and curate is intended to feel personal, thoughtful, and a little different from the ordinary, whether it’s a small artwork for a quiet corner or a statement piece that transforms a room. As a small independent brand, we care deeply about the experience our customers have when ordering from us, from careful packaging to helpful customer service. Thank you for supporting independent creativity and helping Old Town Magick continue to grow.

We’ve bought several items from Marcus

We’ve bought several items from Marcus, both online and at their popup shop and can highly recommend them. We have some beautiful vintage candlesticks and a number of lush prints. Their items are always original, thoughtful, and a wonderful way to add a spark to a corner of our home.

Interesting and Quirky

A lovely company to deal with on all levels. The experience feels very personal and their products are quirky and interesting. I love shopping with them or simply browsing the website to see whats new. Thank you for being different in a world full of homogenised tat!

I ordered a picture and frame from Old Town Magic to decorate my newly painted bedroom. I chose a stunning picture called 'Celebration of Yule'. The frame is gothic black which complemented the picture perfectly.
Very easy to order, superbly packaged as well!

Undisclosed AI

I’ve spent hundreds on this site - then I realised most of it is AI art. It isn’t listed anywhere on the site, it is deceptive.

I reached out multiple times via email and instagram to be met with 0 response. I am now taking it to trading standards.

Hello Hannah,

Thank you for sharing your feedback.

The artworks sold through Old Town Magick are created using a range of contemporary artistic techniques, including digital collage, digital painting, physical mixed-media processes and the restoration or reinterpretation of historical imagery. Like many modern artists, I also experiment with different tools and approaches as part of the creative process.

The prints available through the shop are sold as decorative art prints rather than original hand-painted paintings, and product listings include images so customers can clearly see the style and nature of each piece before purchasing.

Old Town Magick has fulfilled thousands of orders since early 2024, and I’m grateful that the vast majority of customers have had very positive experiences with both the artwork and service.

I haven't got a house big enough for all the prints I'd love to buy from Old Town Magick. I've had to cherry-pick what I've bought which has been massively difficult. Every print is stunning and looks amazing whatever frame it's in. The prints come on thick, quality paper and really hold their colour and gloom well. Old Town Magick is definitely my kind of place - the first place I come when looking for the dark and macabre. Keep up the amazing work, Marcus and team!

Hi JD,

This made me smile, thank you so much for such a generous review!

I’m really glad the prints have lived up to expectations and that you’ve enjoyed building your collection. A lot of care goes into the paper quality, colour depth and finish, so it's wonderful to hear that the details come through once they’re framed and on the wall.

It means a lot that Old Town Magick has become your first stop when you’re looking for something dark and unusual for your space.

Thank you again for your support, and hopefully you’ll find room for a few more prints in future!

Warm regards,

Old Town Magick: A Spellbinding Journey into Scottish Elegance and Enchantment

Ordering from Marcus at Old Town Magick has been nothing short of an enchanting experience—an immersion in Scottish courtesy, timeless elegance, and exquisite craftsmanship. From the very first interaction to the moment I unwrapped my treasures, every detail whispered of Old World refinement and artistry.
Today, my Royal Mail-stamped package arrived, and from the instant I laid eyes on it, I knew I was in for something truly special. This was not just a delivery—it was a ceremony, a moment to be savored. The black and gold branded box exuded mystery and sophistication, promising wonders within. Tucked inside was a personal note, its warm wishes accompanied by a completely unexpected gift: a gold-edged tarot card and reading, sealed with wax, meant just for me. It was a gesture so deeply thoughtful that I was utterly charmed before I had even unwrapped my purchases.
Then came the scroll-tied invoice, wrapped with ribbon—proof that at Old Town Magick, even the mundane is made magical. Beneath layers of carefully folded black tissue and protective wrapping, my chosen objets d’art waited, cradled with the reverence heirlooms deserve.
And the pieces themselves? Beyond stunning. My gilded rococo heart vase has already found its rightful place. And the antique brass letter holder—so much more intricate than I even imagined—looks as though it belongs on the desk of a Highland laird, its weighty presence commanding admiration. It's so solid, I half believe it could fend off an intruder—though, of course, I’d never dream of using it for anything but its rightful decorative splendor.
Old Town Magick is not merely a shop—it is an experience, an invitation to step into a world offering beauty, tradition, and Scottish grace. Marcus does not simply "sell" art—he curates an unforgettable buyer’s journey, from selection to unwrapping, ensuring that each piece arrives as if bestowed upon you by fate itself.
I am utterly delighted and cannot recommend Old Town Magick highly enough. If you have a passion for beautiful things and an appreciation for thoughtful, heartfelt craftsmanship, this is one indulgence you absolutely deserve.

Hi Marian,

I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge the review you left here. Thank you for such an incredibly thoughtful and beautifully written response, it truly means a great deal.

I’m delighted that the whole experience, from the packaging to the pieces themselves, felt special. Creating that sense of occasion when someone receives their order is something I care deeply about, so it’s wonderful to know those details were appreciated.

I’m especially pleased that the rococo heart vase and antique brass letter holder have found a good home. I try to find special pieces like these because they carry a sense of history and atmosphere, and it’s always rewarding to see them become part of someone’s space.

Thank you again for your kind words and support, it really does help independent businesses like Old Town Magick continue doing what we love.

Warm regards,
Marcus

I love this company

I love this company, ordered some prints for my new bedroom to evoke a dark academia / goth vibe and they are perfect. Also bought a little trinket box which is perfect alongside candles on my shelf. Website is gorgeous and very easy to navigate.
