Description
Published by Jacob Keizer and Jan de Lat, this map likely reflects the expertise of Jacob Keizer, who was active as a cartographer between 1706 and 1750. Jan de Lat might have been involved in the publishing or distribution of the map.
Guillaume de L'Isle's cartographic work was highly regarded for its accuracy and attention to detail, and maps based on his works were esteemed for their precision during the 18th century. This map of Persia would likely offer a comprehensive depiction of the region's geographical features, cities, rivers, and possibly include historical or cultural annotations based on de L'Isle's cartographic knowledge.
The collaboration between Keizer and de Lat in publishing this map indicates its potential significance as a reliable and detailed representation of Persia during that period, contributing to the understanding of geography and historical context of the region.
I don't have the specific map you're referring to at hand to visually identify the provinces or areas depicted. However, a map of Persia based on the work of Guillaume de L'Isle might show various provinces, regions, or cities within Persia (modern-day Iran).
Persia historically consisted of different regions, provinces, and territories that might be displayed on the map. Some notable areas include:
1. **Mazandaran:** A province in the north of Iran known for its diverse climate and landscapes.
2. **Khorasan:** A historical region that covers a large area in northeastern Iran.
3. **Fars:** A province in the southern part of Iran, historically significant as the birthplace of the Persian Empire.
4. **Isfahan:** A province and city known for its cultural heritage and historical significance.
5. **Tehran:** The capital city, which might have been depicted prominently on the map.
These are just a few examples of regions within Persia that might have been delineated on the map based on the cartographic knowledge available during the period when the map was created. The specific divisions or provinces displayed would depend on the cartographer's choice and the available geographical information at that time.

Cancellations and Returns
Last updated: 24th March 2025
We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.
If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.
What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
I'm eligible for a return. Now what?
To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
