PO Box from VED VESTERPORT 2, 1612 COPENHAGEN V

Automatic translation from Danish.

At a busy S-train station, this mailbox has received letters thrown in on the fly, often at the last minute, as the train approached the platform. Here, where haste and farewell go hand in hand, this may have served as a lifeline for love letters, sent with a beating heart and a look against the clock.

Vesterport was once one of Copenhagen's old city gates, marking the border between the city and the outside world. The gate stood here until 1857, before it was torn down in step with the city's growth. The first station opened in 1847, and the area quickly developed into a central hub for traffic, railways and movement.

This mailbox has always stood in the middle of the transition between the old fortress city and the modern metropolis, between departure and arrival. A place where everyday life and great emotions often intersect in a matter of seconds.

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 that is paid separately.
