Singapore Paintings & Prints & Archival Photographs

We are continually on the lookout for original Singapore material and prints, to 'bring them back home' so to speak. Over the years we have managed to obtain all the major known Singapore prints, and have, on occasion, discovered a few more previously unknown views. We have a large collection of early photographs of Singapore, including many from the Lambert Studios, which we are continually adding to.

Reproduction Photographs

Very popular with our customers is our extensive collection of Reproduction Archival Photographs which capture early scenes of Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia at a fraction of the cost of the originals.

Reproduction Maps & Prints

Since 1987, due to the rarity, and consequently cost, of many of these items, particularly Singapore material and early maps, we have launched a growing series of Reproduction Reprints, both in Limited Edition and ongoing print runs. Among these items are rare 19th century Singapore prints and maps of Singapore, rare early maps of the region and the world; Natural History prints, among them the beautiful and much sought after fruit and flowers series of 19th century Dutch artist Berthe Hoola van Nooten; reproduction photographs, large wall and desk top calendars [corporate and individual orders] and note cards.

Archival Picture Library

Over the years Antiques of the Orient has built up an extensive archival picture library, which is continually being added to. This is much used by publishers, writers, film makers and museums, both in the region and in Europe. The main areas of focus are 19th and early 20th century views of Singapore, plus prints, antiquarian maps and photographic views of Indonesia, Malaya, Burma, Indo-China, Japan.
