Vintage posters, antique illustrations, wall charts, and archival book artwork have become an increasingly popular choice for both residential and commercial interiors. Rich in character, history, and visual detail, these pieces bring a sense of depth and authenticity that contemporary mass-produced artwork often lacks.
At Michael Murray Art, carefully curated collections of vintage and archival artwork are sourced from historic publications, public archives, museums, and rare books, then reimagined for modern spaces. From architectural illustrations and industrial diagrams to botanical charts, typography, travel posters, and decorative book covers, each piece is selected for its unique visual impact and ability to complement interior schemes.
Rather than offering a single fixed collection, bespoke collections can be created around specific themes, locations, industries, colour palettes, or architectural styles. This makes the artwork particularly well suited to interior designers, developers, hospitality spaces, workplaces, build-to-rent schemes, student accommodation, healthcare environments, and private residences.
Whether the goal is to create a striking focal point, reinforce the identity of a space, or introduce a sense of heritage and storytelling, archival artwork offers a timeless and versatile solution.
All artwork is available framed or unframed, with custom sizing and moulding options to suit individual projects and interiors. From single statement pieces to large-scale curated schemes, collections can be tailored to fit a wide range of environments and budgets.
For developers and designers, curated archival artwork can also provide a cohesive visual language throughout a project — helping connect communal spaces, apartments, corridors, lounges, and reception areas through a shared aesthetic or narrative.
