We had the pleasure of stopping in out of the rain this summer and were given a tour of the collection by a friendly & knowledgeable woman. She was patient with questions, and was able to speak to some of the more unusual, outdated pieces masterfully.
I bought a beautiful map from 1852 and am so excited to have it framed and give it as a gift!
There was a man that would come out of the back room every so often, say something almost comically rude and unexpected and then retreat to the shadows. After the third time this happened, I exchanged an anxious look with the women and ran out of there.
Won't be coming back. It's a shame, it's such a treasure trove.

I love maps. So I was so pleased to find Maps of Antiquity while spending a week in Chatham. There's always a day or two during your week on the Cape when the weather's better for poking around shops than it is for the beach. This shop is perfect for that, especially if you love maps. A lot of them are relevant to Cape Cod, MA, and other parts of New England, but there were really maps from all over the place. But an antique map that shows where you're staying for vacation is a pretty cool souvenir :-)

Bought a framed map and it is a treasury we will have for many years. The staff was so knowledgeable, kind, and helpful. They have an absolutely remarkable selection of maps and will find you just exactly what you are looking for.

I've made several map orders on-line and have experienced excellent service, quick responses, and the maps I ordered have been exactly as described. Perri has made sure I've been promptly updated on the status of my orders, and one of the reasons Maps of Antiquity will continue to be a special contributor to my collection.

We're so pleased that your experiences with us have been so positive! Perri is a treasure, isn't she? We'll pass along your compliments. It is an honor to be held in high esteem by serious collectors, and we thank you for taking the time to give feedback. If you're ever seeking a special map that is not on our website, do drop us a line so that we can be on the lookout for it. And should you ever find yourself in Chatham, stop in and say hello. There's nothing quite like seeing these unique pieces in person. Thanks again!
