Swiss Skeli in the Bernese Parliament Building’s Wandelhalle

Swiss Skeli in the Parliament Building’s “Wandelhalle”.

According to the tourist brochure of the Parliament House, the so called Wandelhalle (seen here) “is 44 meters long and creates an impression of depth with its arched shape. In this hall, all the politicians meet and discuss business during the sessions, as well as give interviews and receive lobbyists. In addition, this hall also serves representative purposes. For example, state receptions of the Federal Council and the New Year's reception of the Federal Presidents are held here. The ceiling paintings are the work of the Ticino artist Antonio Barzaghi-Cattaneo.

This postcard is from around 1900. Published April 15, 2023.

Material

All cards mounted on white 250 g/m² paper with trimmed edges. Vintage postcard, overpainted with acrylic paint, H x B cm, no frame. Signed and dated in pencil on back. This can be easily erased in the event you want to use the card.

The cards are packaged in cellophane with an informative text about the history of the image on each card and when it was first published.

Please note that since these are antique postcards, some might contain small tears, pinholes and/or scratches. Fleshy tries her best to lovingly craft each card, but sometimes a tear might be too close to the overall subject to cut it out. The actual colors might differ slightly from your monitor.

Every postcard is a small, unique work of art!
