Topographical map of the Lake District.

Supplied professionally framed in a real wood dark painted mahogany frame and ready to adorn any wall.

All fifteen major Lakes and Waters have been filled with a shimmering blue resin that glistens and catches the eye. Prepare yourself to get lost in the beauty of the Lake District, re-live past walks, moments, and memories. Feel for yourself the Mountains, ranges, and edges of summits conquered or yet to be.

The backing is made from Faux leather in a rich, textured grey that has a real quality feel to the touch and the eye. The title plate is made from solid Brass with embossed lettering filled in black.

Run your finger down the blue lakes of Windermere or Ullswater, Derwent water or the remote beauty of Wastwater. Find that classic Wainwright summit you conquered against the odds, find that quaint valley that was the harbor of rich memories with friends, family or strangers. In this part of the world, it matters not. This is the Lake District, and you won't find anything quite like it anywhere else on Earth.

This item is also available without the lakes filled in blue and also unframed with or without blue lakes fill, these options are priced accordingly.

If you choose unframed the map will still be hangable as it will be provided fitted with hanging string.

Important information about this item:

It is hand-made to order, as such slight variations are possible from the photos particularly in the bronze finish. A lot depends on the Bronze powder supplied and how the patina finish turns out. I aim for consistency at all times and will always work hard to ensure a beautiful finish is achieved in all my work. Rest assured, you will not be disappointed in this piece (read some of my reviews on Etsy).

It is a fairly heavy item at almost 3kg with it being a solid resing casting and as such you should ensure the wall you plan to hang on is suitable as well as the fixings used, I always advise that you should go overboard on the hanging method to ensure your map stays put for all time. To be clear, a single nail is not sufficient!.

If you ever wish to re-frame the piece then this is possible. I advise taking to a professional framer however it can be done at home with care and suitable tools.

The brass plate would benefit a touch of Brasso occasionally but care should be taken not to get Brasso on the faux leather backing as this may adversely affect it.

This item is shipped well protected and with a highly rated shipping company to ensure it arrives at you in the same condition as it left me.
