Description
This is an antiqueengraving of the Roskilde Cathedral in Denmark. It is a small hand-colored engraving that (apparently) dates from 1846 from a volume of L'Univers, Paris.. It is labeled under the image as "Eglise de Roskilde." This cathedral has historic importance as the first Gothic cathedral constructed of brick - construction began in the 12-13th centuries - and it holds the memorials to Danish kings. The image measures about 6" wide by 4.75" high, and it is matted and framed under glass. The frame has a silver tone and measures 9.75 by 10.75".
Please use the zoom function to see all the great details.
As to provenance: I visited Roskilde in the late 1990s and purchased this in a local shop; I had it framed when I got home. It is in good vintage condition, and has a charming look. Please write to me if you have questions - thanks!
I am storing this in my smoke-free home, but I do have a cat who sheds copiously, so be aware if you have allergies. Please contact me for more information or photos. I am happy to combine items to save on shipping, so check my other listings too. Thanks for looking!
