Mailbox from VANGEDE BYGADE 77, 2820 GENTOFTE

Automatic translation from Danish.

In Dan Turèll's childhood town, this mailbox stood in the middle of a neighborhood where words, everyday life and imagination are intertwined. You can almost imagine the young Turèll sending a letter from here. Perhaps with a poetic greeting to Copenhagen, written with an eye for the familiar and the strange in the ordinary.

Vangede is known as Dan Turèll's childhood town and immortalized in the work "Vangede Billeder", where the life, moods and people of the suburb are given literary weight. The area has roots dating back to the Middle Ages and was characterized by small farms and a close-knit local community for centuries.

This mailbox has been part of an environment where stories originated in small ways. On the street, in homes and in the letters that were sent with everyday thoughts and dreams.

A mailbox from Vangede Bygade is therefore not just a piece of Danish postal history, but a physical testament to literary heritage, suburban life and the words that grew out of the close.

The mailbox measures approx. 34 cm in depth, 44.5 cm in width and 78 cm in height and weighs approx. 21 kg. It appears as a distinctive and iconic element in the home, whether it is used as an art object, Danish cultural heritage or personal keepsake.
The mailboxes appear in the condition in which they were dismantled. A key to the mailbox is included.

There is no inspection of the mailboxes. The buyer will subsequently receive a gift certificate and have the mailbox sent free of charge with Post Nord to addresses in Denmark. There is a cost for delivery outside the country's borders, which is paid separately.
