Your map should be delivered in 2 to 3 working days with free delivery, worldwide. Christmas delivery is guaranteed if you order before 10am tomorrow.
We make maps by hand locally in 23 countries, including the EU . If you're buying a gift for someone in another country, we will make the map locally to them.
You will never pay import tax or customs duty.
Free delivery will gradually get slower towards Christmas as postal services start to struggle with larger volumes of post. Some orders are now taking 4-5 days to arrive. I recommend ordering sooner rather than later to make sure you get everything with time to spare. Check my Christmas delivery guide for more info.
Express delivery is available at checkout which can reduce the delivery time to 1-2 days.
Please note that personalised maps, and larger framed maps, can take longer to produce and deliver.
If you need your order to arrive by a certain date, contact me and we can discuss your options.
Here at The Unique Maps Co., we have an unusually high affinity for paper. After all, without paper, there can be no maps!
That's why all of our paper, frames and packaging are from FSC certified sources.
But we don't stop there. We've partnered with Treeapp to plant trees around the world.
If you spend €50 or more, we'll plant a tree in your name.
Products can be returned within 60 days for a full refund, or exchange for another product.
Our usual returns window is 30 days, but to give you extra peace of mind during the Christmas period, we have extended the returns period to 60 days.
For personalised and customised items, we may offer you a non-expiring gift card, as we cannot resell personalised orders.
If you have any questions, get in touch. For more information, see our full returns & exchanges policy.
My maps are rare, museum-grade, restored old maps sourced from libraries, auction houses and private collections across the globe.

This is a fully custom map of your hometown, street or postal code in Germany, with your house (or someone else's!) focused in the middle of the map.
Your map will be hand made to order from real Reichsamt für Landesaufnahme (State Office for Land Surveying) maps that were originally published in the 1880s and 90s.
These early German Reich maps, first published in the 1800s, are incredibly detailed. They are the equivalent of the British Ordnance Survey maps.
These maps cover the 19th century states of Prussia, Saxony, Bavaria, and Wurttemberg. In modern day terms, these maps cover all of Germany, Luxembourg, parts of Denmark, northern Poland, Kaliningrad, and part of Lithuania.
If you're not sure if your town is on this map, please get in touch with me before you order. While every German city is on this map, cities like Copenhagen and Warsaw are not.
Included on each map is a full legend that allows you to pick out everything from watermills, to churches, to ruins, to mining works and important battlefields.
My personalised maps of Germany are perfect as birthday, housewarming and anniversary gifts. (And of course, as they're printed on paper, you would get bonus points for giving one of these maps for a paper wedding anniversary!)
Please note that these custom maps are only available for locations in Germany, Luxembourg, and parts of Poland, Denmark and Lithuania.
I can also make custom maps of the UK, US, France, the Netherlands, London, and other cities. Check my custom made map page for more info.
You need to tell me two things when you order: an address to focus the map on, and the title of your map. Optionally, you can also tell me if you want your house to be highlighted on the map.
A variety of sizes are available, all the way from 8x10 inches (20x25cm) up to a map that is a few metres wide. No matter what size you order, the text and map will be sharp and readable.
If you would like different customisation or personalisation, please get in touch before you order. I have been customising maps for decades and can do almost anything you can imagine to make your map truly unique. Likewise, if you're looking for a very large or complex map, get in touch and I'll try my best to accommodate your needs.
The model in the listing images is holding the 18x24in (45.5x61cm) version of this map.
This would make a wonderful birthday, Christmas, Father's Day, work leaving or housewarming gift for anyone who is looking for something more personal.
After you order you will get an email from The Unique Maps Co. with a draft of your personalised map. If you have not got an email within 2 or 3 days, check your spam/junk folder. And if nothing's there, please get in contact with me.
This map is available as a giclée print on acid free archival matte paper, or you can buy it framed. The frame is a nice, simple black frame that suits most aesthetics. Please get in touch if you'd like a different frame colour or material. My frames are glazed with super-clear museum-grade acrylic (perspex/acrylite), which is significantly less reflective than glass, safer, and will always arrive in perfect condition.

If you are looking for a size or finish that is not available here, please request it in the "order note" when you check out.
Every order is custom made, so if you need the size adjusted slightly, or printed on an unusual material, just let us know. We've done thousands of custom orders over the years, so there's (almost) nothing we can't manage.
You can also contact us before you order, if you prefer!
