About the item

Porcelain tealight cottage. Shoemakers house.
Hans Christian Andersen Anniversary. Imagine travelling back in time 200 years and walking round Odense, the home town of Hans Christian Andersen, which is situated in the middle of Denmark. Taking Hans Christian Andersen's House as his starting point, the artist Sven Vestergaard has created a series of typically Danish cottages from the 19th century. The cottages make up the fabric of a fairytale universe, and lighting the candles creates the cosiest of atmospheres. When you come to the corner of Hans Jensen Stræde and Bangs Boder, there is a small yellow house with mullioned windows and a red roof. Hans Christian Andersen is thought to have been born there on April 2nd 1805. This house is now a museum dedicated to the world-famous writer.
