Antwerp Cathedral Photo Refrigerator Magnet
SKU: M0855
DESCRIPTION
The Antwerp Cathedral of our Lady in Belgium instantly humbles contemporary architects and contractors. Built over two centuries, between 1352 and 1521, this masterpiece of lacey stone work is considered one of the finest gothic buildings in Europe.
The 405-ft. tall tower, the tallest structure in Antwerp, was designed by Herman de Waghemakere and built over a ten year period by Domien de Waghemakere, Antoon Keldermans II and Rombout Keldermans, completed in 1518. It houses a carillon of 49 bells, the largest of which, Karolus was added in 1507 and weighs 7 tons.
In the cathedral are three large paintings by Rubens, the bronze tomb of Isabella of Bourbon, 55 large stained glass windows and a Schyven organ with 5,770 pipes.
Over 500,000 worshippers and guests visit the cathedral annually and the yearly maintenance budget is $2.3 million.
Size each: 4” X 3” (10.2cm X 7.6cm)
Photography by Eddy Van Leuven of Flanders, Belgium. Van Leuven has been taking photos since childhood, a hobby shared with his father, who gave him his first camera.
I am proud to display a bit of his work. I especially like his nature and architectural photos. And his people. Basically I think he's a genius.
Any jagged lines in the picture result from image resolution being downgraded for the web and will not appear on your magnet, nor will any part numbers or sample marks.
Q. Can you personalize or make custom magnets? Happy to, make dozens every week. Simple text changes to stock magnets are free, including eliminating all text. Just add instructions to your payment or email me after payment.
Sorry, I do not sell magnets of copyrighted images unless you are the copyright holder.
Q. How strong is the magnetism? Will it stick to my ....? My magnets will hold a couple sheets of lightweight paper or an appointment card but are apt to fail at holding Johnny's finger-painted masterpiece slathered with a pint of tempera paint, or a stack of coupons. The magnet covers the entire back, which means it's unlikely to be brushed to the floor by a youngster cart wheeling through the kitchen.
Q. Any special offers? Every order ships with at least 1 free magnet, sometimes made exclusively for you, always selected with an eye to your particular interests.
Q. Are magnets three dimensional or die cut? Nope. They are hand crafted rectangular pictures printed on flat, flexible 30ml magnetic vinyl with a protective satin-finish top coating and hand finished edges.
The magnets are roughly twice the thickness & strength of magnetic material found at office supply stores. They are suitable for interior use.
In other languages that's: El imán es una imagen plana. L'aimant est une image plate. Der Magnet ist ein flaches Bild. Il magnete è un'immagine piatta. De magneet is een vlakke afbeelding.
Q. Where are the magnets made and who makes them? They're made in Elkhart, Indiana U.S.A. by Yours Truly. I'm a 1-lady band so when you buy from me, you deal only with me. If your order is flubbed, your complaint goes directly to the person who has the most to gain by your satisfaction. When preparing your order my goal is to please you enough that you'll send other customers my way and return yourself.
Q. What if I don't like my magnets? Return within 14 days of receipt for a full refund, including return shipping, up to the amount I spent getting it to you. (In other words, if you decide to fly it here on your jet, you're buying the fuel :). Just
email so I'll know to watch for an incoming parcel.
Copyrights and images
I do not knowingly sell copyrighted materials. Please contact me if you see an image in my offerings that is contrary to this policy.
Q. What about durability? Will they damage my refrigerator?
They are kind to your refrigerator; no metal corners to scratch or rust, no plastic sleeves to harbor soil or moisture. The top layer is fused to the magnetic base and does not delaminate. To clean, wipe with a damp cloth. Do not soak, use abrasives or apply cleaning products containing bleach or solvents. I've run them through the dishwasher without disaster, but they'll last longer if you keep them out of puddles, away from puppy teeth, and remember they're not suitable for exterior use.
