Synopsis
Rosenborg Castle houses one of the finest treasure collections in Europe. The castle, which was built as a summer residence in Copenhagen, Denmark, by Christian IV of Denmark-Norway in the period 1606–1634, contains, among other things, the coronation regalia, jewelry, weapons, and objects of rock crystal, hardstones, ivory, and narwhal tusk.
With Rosenborg’s two oldest inventories from 1696 and 1718 as the point of departure, the present work charts the making of the treasure collection and its contents and offers a unique insight into the items of the collection in words and images.
The Treasure Collection at Rosenborg Castle is the result of years of laborious research. The author, Jørgen Hein, combines his immense knowledge about the items and the historical facts of the treasure collection with a vivid and engrossing narrative, and with its three exclusive volumes the work offers a fascinating foray into the world of pomp and circumstance that surrounded the Danish-Norwegian kings in the period between 1500 and 1900.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Rosenborg Castle in Copenhagen is among the 10 best princely treasures of Europe. It has been preserved in its natural surroundings and about 95% of the more than 1000 objects have survived. The first volume tells the history of the collection and ends with an art historical summary of its contents. This account builds partly upon hitherto unknown evidence, for example travel diaries from foreign archives. The finds offer a new picture of royal political propaganda and of the making of Danish national identity. The last two volumes contain a catalogue raisonne. Each object is listed with an extract of the proper inventories, an illustrated description with reference to parallels abroad, and a bibliography. Seller Inventory # 9788763501316
