Luxembourg – Scott # 755, used

Description

This beautifully engraved 1986 Luxembourg 50-franc “Tour Malakoff” stamp (Scott #755) brings a touch of medieval drama to any collection. Issued as part of Luxembourg’s architectural and historical series, it showcases the Malakoff Tower, a 19th-century defensive structure built after the turmoil of the Belgian Revolution. Rendered in warm stone tones against lush spring greenery, this stamp feels almost like a tiny travel poster inviting you to wander old fortress walls and shaded pathways.

This example is used, with a clean, unobtrusive circular cancel that preserves the artwork. Printed by Courvoisier, one of Europe’s most renowned security printers, the stamp features sharp detail, rich color, and that classic Luxembourgish mix of elegance and sturdiness. A perfect choice for collectors of European architecture, fortifications, Luxembourg history, or lovers of scenic, story-rich postage.
