Wallpaper - Antique Celestial Chart, Haemisphaerium Stellatum Australe Antiquum

Our Antique Celestial Chart wallpaper brings Andreas Cellarius's historic Southern Hemisphere night sky to life on a grand scale. Illustrated with classical constellation figures including a centaur, a lion, and a scorpion, the circular star chart is bordered by floating cherubs and ornate banners. The composition balances deep reds and rich earth tones against vibrant blues and bright pops of aquamarine blue, creating an intricate etching-inspired aesthetic. Like all our wall murals, this design is made to measure to your wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

Because this design functions as a complete historical map composition, we see it working at its best on a broad, uninterrupted wall where the full circular celestial hemisphere can unfold without heavy visual breaks. It makes a compelling focal point in a private study, a home library, or a dedicated art studio. Placing the wallpaper behind a low desk or reading bench allows the detailed celestial figures and Latin banners to remain clearly in view. The intricate line work and varying color depths reward close viewing, making it particularly engaging in spaces dedicated to reading, quiet focus, or conversation.

Styling it

The rich historic etching style naturally pairs with classical, heritage-led interiors. We suggest combining this wall mural with warm wood furniture, such as dark oak or aged walnut bookshelves, which echoes the deep earth tones and rich antique character of the print. To keep the focus on the intricate constellations, balance the surrounding room with simpler upholstery in solid navy or muted terracotta rather than competing patterns. Antique brass or aged bronze desk lamps and hardware pick up on the warm vintage undertones without overwhelming the artwork.

Color combinations

The wallpaper features a vibrant palette grounded in deep blues and aquamarine blue, accented by warm earth tones and rich brick reds. When choosing surrounding wall colors or trim, deep navy or slate blue creates a seamless, enveloping atmosphere that extends the night sky motif. For a lighter, more contrasting balance, warm parchment, antique ivory, or soft stone on adjacent walls highlights the crispness of the map's outer border while keeping the room feeling open.
