Where can I buy a large piece of art that can be rolled up for easy transportation ... like a map of the world for eg?

Just that really, I need to hang something on the wall of our holiday home to cover an unsightly stain. (Yes, I know I should fix the root cause etc but that's for another day)
Needs to be 4 feet by 4 feet or 4 feet by 6 feet roughly.
TIA

Possibly on Artfinder?
I bought some art from there and it was rolled. I had it stretched and put on canvas.
However there is so much choice of styles and finishes.
Could be worth a look.

Is this big enough?

Suzysunflower · 09/08/2021 18:42

Not to be nitpicking, and that map is great, we have it in our house too an it's really well done, but the art historian in me feels obliged to point out that a map of the world is not an artwork.

This interpretation is an artwork, although it is costly and not amazing for the price

Get an OS map centred on the holiday home

( tape measure not to hand but it's quite big )

What about a cloth wall hanging?

Thanks for all your suggestions.
I think @midgemagneto wins the prize for best suggestion when I figure out what size the OS map for the area is.

John Lewis has some large 140cm x 180 cm prints mail order. I take it they will be rolled up and delivered to you in the usual cardboard tube.

Searchbordance survey custom map

Full size 100cm x 89 so may be too small

BarbaraofSeville · 10/08/2021 08:57

Custom maps are smaller than standard OS leisure maps, and I'm not sure if they're all the same size anyway. Certainly the outlines here are all different sizes.

SusannaM · 10/08/2021 08:58

IKEA have huge pictures, rolled up.

BarbaraofSeville · 10/08/2021 08:59

OP, I have about most of the standard OS leisure maps for northern England and some of the Welsh ones, if you tell me which sheet it is, I can measure it for you if I have it yes I do have better things to do.

I was going to say this! 1 is probably not big enough, but get the next one too! You used to be able to buy them rolled/unfolded direct from OS.

Or IKEA do some big prints.

These are packed so the picture is rolled and the frame is in pieces. Various sizes and prints, not sure if there are maps, but your OP said eg a map, so thought you might want other options.

BikeRunSki · 10/08/2021 09:09

Flat OS maps, you might need a few to cover the area required.
