These wonderful leather maps are created by using a technique called PYROGRAPHY. Pyrography is the art of using fire to create art. These maps are entirely done by hand which makes each piece very unique.

These leather maps are highly decorative, elegant and engaging. They capture the romance and adventure of the age of discovery. Many people love to look at old maps of places they have visited, places they lived and places they are curious about. Maps of known and unknown places often prompt conversation.

These maps are made by using fine ox leather, simple tools and well practiced fire engraving methods to create stuning works of art. All the lines and shades are burned into the leather thus impossible to erase or fade. Dyes are applied to the skin to create deeper shades and contrasts. The surface of the leather maps is coated with plant solution to protect it against time and insects. Natural paste is also applied to attain a fine finish.

The completed piece can be hung with wooden rods and leather straps or enclosed into a wooden frame to complement any setting wheter it is home or office.

This art makes an unfogettable souvenir, a unique gift or a breathtaking decoration which will last a life time. Because these maps are created by using natural leather and hand tools, each piece is slightly distinct and projects its individuality.
