Postcard from A Danish Passenger Aboard the Titanic – Historic Collector’s Item up for Auction

At Bruun Rasmussen's anniversary auction on 27 November, we turn our attention to a historic moment at sea. This takes place with the sale of a postcard sent by the Dane Jacob Christian Milling to his wife in Odense only a few hours before the "unsinkable" RMS Titanic set out from the southern coast of England.

As the leading auction house in Denmark, we sell over 75,000 items every year at our Online Auctions at bruun-rasmussen.dk and at Live Auctions at the auction house in Lyngby.

Our specialists are the most experienced and competent in the industry. The work in the auction house places great demands on our knowledge of art and trends on the market. This way, we can provide valuations and advice of the highest quality – which has become our trademark – and thereby offer the best lots from all categories and achieve high hammer prices for the benefit of our customers.

At Bruun Rasmussen, we are one of Europe's most modern and digital auction houses, and it is only natural for us to adapt to changes in the market. Innovation is part of our DNA, while we are also deeply rooted in our history.

In 2022, after having been family-owned through three generations, we became part of the international “Bonhams Network”, expanding our global reach and access to specialists all over the world. We strategically present and sell art where it makes the most sense in relation to potential buyers.
