Mailbox from BERNSTORFFSGADE 14, 1577 COPENHAGEN V

Automatic translation from Danish.

Right next to the Central Station, this mailbox has received countless letters from travelers on their way to new adventures. It has stood in the middle of a pulsating stream of people, surrounded by the sound of suitcases hitting the floor, quick footsteps and gentle laughter echoing through the station building. Happy and playful children on their way home after a day in Tivoli have passed by, often with memories still shining in their eyes.

The street is named after A.P. Bernstorff, one of the main figures behind the agricultural reforms in the late 18th century. Reforms that changed Denmark forever. The area has been characterized by movement and change throughout time. In the 1890s, a bicycle track was located here, where six-hour races were run, and thousands of spectators followed along eagerly.

Right next door, Tivoli opened in 1843 and quickly became one of the city's biggest draws, a place for both Copenhageners and visitors. In 1911, the Central Station was built, making the area a national hub for travel, reunions and farewells. This mailbox has been at the heart of it all.

A mailbox from the Central Station is therefore not just a piece of Danish postal history, but a physical testament to travel, expectation and movement, where Denmark opens up to the world.

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.
