Magellan wallpaper – Pierre Frey

Magellan wallpaper by Pierre Frey – A cartographic masterpiece for the wall

The Magellan wallpaper by Pierre Frey is a tribute to the great explorers of bygone eras. This wallpaper transforms any room into an adventurous world map, dotted with mythical creatures, cardinal directions, constellations, and nautical symbols. Created in 1943 for the house of Pierre Frey, but now reissue as an extra-wide print on matte paper, it's a visual journey across distant seas, continents, and celestial bodies.

An illustrated planisphere full of fantasy and history

The Magellan wallpaper presents itself as an artistic map, a planisphere where imagination meets cartography. Tiny stars, dragons, ancient ships, cities, temples, and even astronomical symbols are scattered across a grid of geographic coordinates. The hues are serene and subtle: think sandstone beige, sky blue, and sea green, each with its own interpretation of the classic map motif.

Decorative and meaningful – ideal for travel and art lovers

Whether you want to enhance a child's room with educational imagery or give a library, study, or entryway a cosmopolitan feel, Magellan is the perfect fit. Its matte finish and large size allow every detail to truly shine. This wallpaper is both a talking point and an eye-catcher, with a vintage feel that complements both classic and modern interiors.
