Luxembourg – Scott #s 881-82, used

Description

This pair of 1993 Luxembourg definitive stamps (Scott #881–882) features two beautifully rendered subjects, each printed by the renowned Courvoisier firm and postmarked lightly enough to preserve the artwork.

• Scott #881 (14F – Steinfort)
  Depicts the historic Steinfort industrial hall, a striking example of 19th-century Luxembourgish architecture. With its long colonnaded façade, arched windows, and external staircase, the image captures the elegance of an era when industrial design still carried classical refinement. The soft pink and green palette adds a modern, almost minimalist touch to the structure.

• Scott #882 (14F – Fontaine aux Enfants)
  Features the beloved “Children’s Fountain” (Fontaine aux Enfants), a sculptural grouping of lively children gathered around a central figure. The warm ochre background gives the stamp a rich, gallery-like presence, enhancing the detail of the engraving.

Both stamps are used, with clean cancels that complement rather than obscure the designs. This pair is perfect for collectors of Luxembourg architecture, public art, 1990s European definitives, or Courvoisier-printed issues. Attractive, modern, and full of local character.
