My Story

Meet Lisette.

Antique Maps Gallery was founded in 2023 by Lisette Hoepelman, whose love of maps grew from a family with more than forty years in the antiquarian trade.

Today, the gallery brings that heritage to a new generation of collectors. From early world views and finely detailed regional maps to botanical, ornithological and other natural history prints, the pleasure is in finding a piece that means something to you.

Based in Barcelona. Conversations welcome in English, Dutch, French and Spanish.
