    Description

    This is an antique
    engraving 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!
