Thror’s map – based on the movie – The Hobbit

Description

Made to order, handdrawn Tolkien’s Thror’s map – based on the MOVIE “The Hobbit”.

Sizes available (circa, final size may vary a bit):

A0 105/80 cm
A1 72/60 cm
A2 55/40 cm
A3 37/30 cm (14,5/11.75 inch)

Several options for it’s age and wearyness are available (please, see photos):

DWARVEN KINGDOM – slighty vintage look – “old” map but in a good condition, some slight unevenness.

PAST LONG GONE – very old look – dark or faded colours, surface and colours uneven, slightly worn out in places, good condition.

LONG TALE TO TELL – very worn – stains, scratches, places of repairings, burns, blood, corrections, whatever.

Most people that see my maps think they’re drawn on hide or parchment so I can conclude the effect is fully satisfying 😉

Please, take note above are exemplary photos. As my maps are fully handmade items, I am not able to produce two identical maps. Hence the finished product may vary from the one shown in the example, but I can send you pictures of your own item when it’s under creation or finished.

Please, remember: I need about 8-12 weeks to create this map (and it takes about 1-2 weeks for the shipping).

The maps are handdrawn, with ink and quills, on paper. The paper is dyed and impregnated to resemble an old parchment. The maps are plastered to a fabric and the edges are secured with handmade stiches. The maps are firm when you take them to your hand. I process the maps to look old and (if you wish) worn thus the surface and colouring are uneven.

The procedures and techniques I use make the map strong and usable, despite the fragile, old and worn look. You can put it on a wall, but you can also roll it and take it with you to play, to show, to use. No worries.

The ink is waterproof – if a drop of liquid drops on the map, you can just gently wipe it dry. Big amount of liquid may loosen the glue and cause the paper to wrinkle, but still – you can just press the place with a weight (i. e. books) and wait till it dries. The wrinkles will stay and the stain will be visible, but the map will still be usable – just looking more worn 😉

Don’t hesitate to ask any questions or for more photos of the maps 🙂

Please, note, there may be slight differences in colour between the product and the photos.
