Vintage World Map Canvas | Antique Globe & Sundial Art Prints | Set of 2

Hang this world map canvas set of 2 in your games room and you'll instantly feel like you've stepped into a gentleman's explorer's study — the kind of space that says you've been somewhere and read something worth reading. The left print is a dramatic close-up of an antique sundial or astronomical instrument, its engraved French text, graduated arcs, and ornate cartouche details all rendered in deep charcoal and crisp white. The right print shows a beautifully detailed vintage terrestrial globe perched on a dark turned-wood stand, continents and latitude lines etched across its surface in fine black linework against pale white. Together they work as a proper diptych — two distinct subjects that share the same monochrome palette and the same sense of old-world scholarship.

I love this pair for anyone chasing that dark academia or old-money look without it feeling overdone. The high-contrast black and white tones are bold enough to hold their own on a dark feature wall, but clean enough to sit happily against white or off-white too. Whether you're dressing a games room, a home library, a classic study, or an executive home office, these two prints carry real personality and presence.

How to Style world map canvas Prints in a Games Room or Study

I'd hang these two side by side at eye level with an even gap between them — around 5 to 8 cm works really well — so they read as a proper diptych rather than two separate pieces. A games room with dark panelling or deep-toned walls is an absolutely brilliant backdrop for these; the high-contrast black and white really pops against a dark green, charcoal, or navy wall. If your walls are lighter, don't worry — the bold black tones in the artwork do the heavy lifting and the pair still commands attention. For a classic study or home library feel, try grouping them above a leather desk chair or a sideboard with a few curated objects — a real globe, a compass, a leather-bound book. That layered look is very much the old-money, heritage-style aesthetic these prints are made for. You can find more inspiration for this kind of look in our vintage wall art collection.

Choosing the Right Size and Format for Your Space

Before you decide on a size, think about the wall you're working with. In a games room or study, a larger format — think A2 or bigger — really lets the fine engraved detail in the sundial print and the delicate linework on the globe sing. If you're filling a narrower wall or working alongside shelving, a matching pair of A3 prints can look very elegant without overwhelming the space. As a general rule, the two prints together should span roughly half to two-thirds the width of any furniture sitting beneath them — that keeps everything feeling balanced rather than lost.

For format, the wrapped canvas option gives a clean, gallery feel that suits the dark academic aesthetic particularly well. If you'd prefer something more traditional, the framed print option adds that classic, polished finish that feels right at home in a gentleman's study or games room. The unframed print is a great choice if you already have frames you love or want to match an existing wall arrangement. Scroll down to see how each size looks in a games room before you decide — there's a size-guide image below showing every option in that setting.

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.
