It is not only Oriental art and decorative crafts that are in high demand these days. At our recent international stamp auction we achieved a number of impressive hammer prices for Chinese collections. Especially a collection of stamps from the 1960s was popular and went for DKK 170,000.
Bruun Rasmusssen udbyder noget så sjældent som et brev, der er sendt fra Nagasaki til Ribe i 1880. Selvom det i dag er mere end 175 år siden, at verdens første frimærke så dagen lys, så sker det heldigvis stadig indimellem, at der dukker sjældne frimærker og breve op, der ikke tidligere har været i kyndige filatelisters hænder.
Bruun Rasmussen Auctioneers is offering a unique letter, which has been sent from Nagasaki (Japan) to Ribe (Denmark) in 1880. It might be more than 175 years since the world's first postage stamp saw the light of day, but fortunately, from time to time, some rare stamps and letters that have not previously found their way into the expert hands of philatelists still turn up.
