The collection

A small edit of
the visual past.

We look for pieces that can hold a wall, start a conversation or simply make a room feel more like its owner.

Antique maps

Places once imagined, drawn and carried across the world.

Original engravings

Quiet detail, fine lines and the evidence of the hand.

Vintage travel posters

Colourful invitations to places that still live in the imagination.

Mid-century prints

Bold compositions for rooms that are not afraid of character.

A JOURNEY THROUGH PAPERABU
SIMBEL1963 · U.A.R.

Object of the moment

Every piece has
somewhere to take you.

A 1960s Egyptian travel poster can do more than decorate a room: it can hold a vanished landscape, a graphic language and the memory of a journey that may never have happened.

The shop behind the shop

OldPrintsBarcelona is the international paper archive of Tesoros de Alejandría.

For more than 25 years, we have been living among books, images and the traces people leave on paper. This selection brings that experience to a more visual collection: pieces chosen for their history, their design and the way they can live in a contemporary home.

Everything is selected and described from our physical bookshop in Barcelona. No reproductions. Only original works on paper.
