got the world in a frame, colors of the rainbow

I mentioned earlier that I've been on a quest for a large, vintage map of Denver or Colorado from the early 1900s that I can frame to put above my fireplace.

I've just decided to save this project for a day when I have a "study" or an "office" and instead opt for the below map of the world. In the not-so-near future when I have a place I can call my own and actually start decorating, I have always wanted to do a blue and yellow happy living room. I think this map made by These Are Things shall go perfectly.


Does anyone know where I could get a large white, vintage-looking frame to showcase this bad boy?

Update: I came across this 20x30 frame on etsy and thought the Pumpkin or Mango version might be a nice fit. Thoughts?

    You can find a ton of frames at antique stores or even thrift stores and then paint them if you need to. A little paint makes everything look brand new!

    P.S. What do you think is a reasonable or expected amount to spend on a frame at an antique store?
