Sarreid Map Room

Sarreid manufacturers an incredible collection of antique reproductions and their showroom was one of the highlights of High Point Market this April.  Their products are made with such high quality that pieces produced in China must have a red wax stamp to prove to the Chinese government that they are not exporting actual antiques, only reproductions!

This interview discusses the process that their reproduced maps go through to become as close to perfect copies as possible.  

Thats right, you heard correct! They use incense to help 'age' the pieces of paper!  Absolutely incredible.
