Mailbox from AMALIEGADE 45, 1256 COPENHAGEN K

Automatic translation from Danish.

A stone's throw from Amalienborg, this mailbox has had an almost royal location. Here, court marshals have been able to post letters on their way between the palaces, while tourists have sent greetings home with a view of the changing of the guard and the royal family's residence.

Amaliegade is a central part of Frederiksstaden, the fashionable quarter established in 1749. The area is characterized by its distinguished mansions and symmetrical urban plan. The street is named after Queen Sophie Amalie, who also gave her name to Amalienborg, home to generations of Danish kings and queens.

But Amaliegade does not only contain royal history. This is where the Casino Theatre was located, where the people's meetings in 1848 became a gathering point for freedom and participation. The demands that paved the way for the establishment of the Constitution and the transition to democratic rule. A crucial turning point in the history of Denmark.

The mailbox has stood in the middle of the tension between monarchy and popular rule, between pomp and protest, between everyday life and historical moments.

A mailbox from Amaliegade is therefore not just a piece of Danish postal history, but a physical testament to Denmark's royal heritage and the democratic movements that shaped the nation.

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.

The mailboxes are not inspected. 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.
