A lovely example!

From a Danish collection.

Important information: 
For shipment within the European Union there will be no need for an export license for this lot. 

However, because of the importance of this lot, you will need an export license for shipment outside the European Union. 
These licenses will be given via the heritage inspection of the Ministerie van Onderwijs, Cultuur en Wetenschappen (Ministery of Education, Culture and Sciences). 
This can only be done after the sale and can take quite some time. 

Please note that as a result of this procedure we will charge higher shipping costs for shipment outside the European Union.
