Ancient world map


Like antiquarian books, antique maps exhibit very stable risk/return characteristics. This is a market that is very supply constrained and is supported by a growing base of collectors.


Due to these favourable risk/return characteristics, an optimised portfolio of emotional assets should include an allocation to antique maps and atlases.


Although maps and atlases exhibit low correlation with art, the correlation increases with other emotional assets like books and stamps.


 

Although there has historically been a demand for map & atlases that exceeds supply, causing substantial increases in value, there is no guarantee that this will be the case in the future. Demand for map & atlases of a particular area or type may be affected by regional or world trends and tastes.
