material accepts pencil markings well and
also erases well. The paper and printing process has been certified by NOAA and deemed to be suitable to withstand the

DECORATIVE ANTIQUED CHARTS

This is a unique line of decorative charts prepared by Paradise Cay Publications.

  • This is an art piece prepared with the look of a well-used chart with the patina of antique parchment.
  • Printed on our high-quality heavy paper.
  • We have added an additional border to allow for framing.
  • Shipped rolled, never folded.

The short side of the chart is always printed at 36" and the long side will vary depending on the chart - please do not order framing prior to receiving the chart. These will memorialize your favorite coastal area in vintage style and we have added to the standard border of the typical NOAA chart to allow for a more professional, frame-ready presentation.
