Description
The "Antique Map of Denmark with Schleswig & Holstein" from 'The Imperial Atlas of Modern Geography', published by W. G. Blackie in 1859, is a valuable historical document that provides a detailed view of Denmark along with the regions of Schleswig and Holstein as they were understood in the mid-19th century.
**Key Features of the Map:**
1. **Geographical Coverage**: The map encompasses the Kingdom of Denmark and the duchies of Schleswig and Holstein. It illustrates the distinct landscapes of these regions, from the Jutland Peninsula to the numerous Danish islands, and the flat plains of Holstein.
2. **Political Boundaries**: This period was significant for Denmark and the Schleswig-Holstein region due to the national and political tensions. The map likely delineates the boundaries as they were recognized at the time, offering insight into the complex territorial disputes of the era.
3. **Urban and Rural Landscapes**: Major cities like Copenhagen, Aarhus, and Kiel, as well as smaller towns and rural villages, are marked. This aspect offers a view of the urban distribution and key population centers in Denmark and the Schleswig-Holstein area.
4. **Transportation and Trade Routes**: The map may detail the transportation infrastructure, including roads and maritime routes, which were vital for trade and communication in these regions.
5. **Natural Features**: Significant natural features such as the Danish straits, the North Sea and Baltic Sea coastlines, and important rivers and lakes are likely to be highlighted, showcasing the geographic diversity of the area.
6. **Artistic Elements**: In line with the cartographic style of the Victorian era, the map probably includes ornate borders, an elegant title script, and possibly other artistic embellishments, adding to its aesthetic value.
7. **Educational and Historical Significance**: As a historical document, this map serves as an invaluable educational tool, offering a snapshot of the geographical understanding and the political landscape of Denmark and the Schleswig-Holstein region in the mid-19th century.
This antique map is not only a collector’s item for enthusiasts of historical cartography but also an important resource for those interested in the historical geography of Scandinavia and Northern Europe, providing a window into the regional dynamics of the time.

Cancellations and Returns
Last updated: 24th March 2025
We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.
If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.
What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
I'm eligible for a return. Now what?
To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
