Wallpaper - Antique Celestial Chart, Haemisphaerium Stellatum Australe Antiquum

Our Antique Celestial Chart wallpaper presents Andreas Cellarius’s historic astronomical engraving of the Southern Hemisphere night sky. The circular star chart is framed by clouds and cherubs, with constellations represented by classical figures and mythical creatures such as a centaur, a lion, and a scorpion. Rich deep blues, warm earthy hues, and accents of aquamarine blue give the intricate etching a striking presence across the wall. Printed made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our wallpaper brings historic artistry into contemporary interiors.

In the room

Because the design centres on an intricate circular chart with detailed linework, we see this working best on an uninterrupted feature wall where the complete motif remains visible. It makes a fitting focal point in a home study, library, or art studio, where the dense astronomical details and classical figures invite closer inspection. In a living room or bedroom, positioning the wallpaper behind lower furniture such as a sofa or bed frame keeps the central celestial sphere in clear view while adding visual depth and character to the space.

Styling it

The etching-style artwork carries substantial detail, so we recommend balancing it with simpler, grounded interior elements.

• Pair the wallpaper with dark wood furniture, such as walnut or stained mahogany, to echo the classical heritage of the 18th-century print.
• Choose understated textiles in muted blues or warm neutrals to let the complex star chart remain the visual focus of the room.
• Incorporate aged bronze or antique brass lighting fixtures that complement the warm tones within the celestial borders.

Colour combinations

The design is built around a palette of deep navy blues, warm earth tones, soft reddish pigments, and accents of aquamarine blue. To create a cohesive look around the wall mural, we suggest pulling deep midnight blue or warm off-white onto adjacent walls and architectural trim. For upholstery and larger decor accents, muted terracotta, warm ochre, or slate blue provide natural continuity without competing with the detailed print.
