Masculine Wall Art Vintage Sundial & Antique Globe Black and White Art Prints | Set of 2

Give your hallway a real sense of character with this masculine wall art set — two striking black and white art prints that feel like they belong in a gentleman's study or a well-travelled explorer's home. The left print shows a close-up of an ornate antique sundial, its engraved French script, curved graduated arcs and decorative flourishes all rendered in beautifully detailed monochrome tones. The right print pairs it with a classic cartographic globe, sitting on a dark turned-wood base, its surface covered in fine hand-drawn landmasses and grid lines. Together they create a diptych that is calm, considered and genuinely impressive.

I love this pairing because neither print shouts — they just quietly say that the person who chose them knows exactly what they like. That old money, dark academia feel is hard to pull off without it looking try-hard, but these two do it naturally. Whether your hallway has a traditional feel or you are mixing heritage pieces with something more contemporary, this set lands brilliantly.

What's Included with Masculine Wall Art Vintage Sundial & Antique Globe Black and White Art Prints | Set of 2

• A set of 2 art prints — one close-up vintage sundial print and one antique globe print, both in black and white
• Printed in the UK using fade-resistant pigment inks on high-quality art paper, suitable for indoor display
• The framed and canvas-wrapped options arrive ready to hang — saving you the time and hassle of hunting for a frame that fits; the unframed option is the print only
• Choose between unframed and framed options in multiple sizes and in Luster or Museum quality; also available in wrapped canvas size options

How to Style Masculine Wall Art in a Hallway

I would hang these two prints side by side at eye level in the hallway, with an equal gap between them — around 5 to 8 cm works well for a diptych this size. Because both prints are in black and white, they sit comfortably against dark walls like charcoal, forest green or deep navy, and they look just as strong against crisp white or warm off-white. If your hallway has a narrow wall, go for a slightly smaller size so the prints feel purposeful rather than cramped; if you have a generous wall to fill, go large and let them make a proper statement.

This set also works really well as part of a wider gallery wall — mix in a vintage map, a coat of arms print or a sepia architectural sketch and you build that full dark academia or old money library look without any single piece doing too much heavy lifting.

Choosing the Right Size and Finish for These Prints

With a set like this, I always suggest thinking about the wall as a whole first. Measure the width of the space you have and divide it roughly into thirds — each print should fill about a third, with breathing room on either side and between them. For most hallway walls, that tends to mean A3 or A2 prints work beautifully; wider entrance halls can carry A1 with real confidence.

For finish, Luster paper gives a slight sheen that makes the contrast between the deep blacks and the pale whites really pop — great if your hallway gets a decent amount of natural light. Museum quality paper has a smoother, more matte result that suits dimmer, moodier spaces and gives the prints an almost photographic gallery feel. Either way, the fine detail in the sundial engraving and the globe's cartography comes through clearly. Wrapped canvas is a brilliant option if you want something with depth and texture that feels more like an original artwork straight on the wall. Scroll down to see how each size looks in a hallway before you decide — there is a size guide image below showing every size in that room.

Choose from white, black, or oak frames, each handmade here in the UK.

The front is fitted with a perspex panel — it has all the clarity of glass, but it's far lighter, so it won't strain your walls or risk damage, and because it's virtually unbreakable it's a much safer choice in homes with children or pets.

Behind that sits a painted MDF frame with a sturdy MDF backboard.

Your frame comes ready to hang with fixings included — smaller sizes also include a strut, so you can stand them freestanding or hang them in portrait or landscape.

Choose a framed option and your prints arrive fully assembled and ready to hang straight from the box.

Our wrapped canvas prints:

• Prefer a clean, frameless look? Our wrapped canvas is printed on 260 gsm polyester canvas and is naturally moisture-resistant, which makes it a lovely choice for bathrooms, kitchens, and covered outdoor spaces where paper prints wouldn't last.

Paper Choices

Paper prints come on your choice of two premium papers:

• Satin Photo Paper (280 gsm) for a vivid finish with a soft sheen
• Matte Museum-Quality Art Paper (290 gsm) for a fine-art, gallery-worthy look with no glare.

All prints use fade-resistant pigment inks, so your colours stay rich and true for years. Paper prints are best kept indoors.

Sizes

Your wall art is available in a range of sizes — simply choose yours from the size options on the product page.

If you're unsure which size suits your wall, our size guide shows each option to scale.

Mounts

On the A2 and 20 × 30 in framed sizes, you can add white or black mounts as an add on for a more polished, gallery-style finish — just select them under "Add mounts to your new wall art" on the product page.

Please note:

• The frame size refers to the print size that fits perfectly inside — not the overall outer dimensions of the frame.
