Welcome to The Antique Maps Chest a website for those looking for old maps and town plans. I am a private collector based in Sevenoaks Kent with a wide range of maps and town plans dating from the 15th to 19th centuries including John Speed, Sebastian Munster, Braun & Hogenberg, Blaeu, Jansson, Merian, Vaugondy and many others.

 All are genuine antiques - no reproductions.

The website is structured around 4 indexes and 3 photo galleries.

1) Index: UK Town Plans (place, mapmaker, date, price and reference number)

2) Index: UK Maps (place, mapmaker, date, size, price and reference number)

3) Index: Non-UK Maps (place, mapmaker, date, size, price and reference number)

A 'P' symbol denotes whether there is a photo of the map in the related gallery. Each photo in the gallery has an accompanying description.

To search for a map by location, use the indexes then the galleries. To search by mapmaker, start with (4) Index: Mapmaker and then cross reference to location.

Or, just browse the galleries...............

I do have other maps that are not listed here. If you are looking for anything in particular or want more information on a listed item, please feel free to email or contact me at any time - see Contact Me.

I have another website which contains my folded maps, panoramas (eg. Illustrated London News), map related books, atlases, cricket books and others...............www.oldmapsandbooks.co.uk
