Amalienborg - doily - Ida Winckler (IW) & Gerda Bengtsson (GB)

Amalienborg - doily - Ida Winckler (IW) & Gerda Bengtsson (GB) is an embroidery kit with a classic Danish motif. The embroidery shows Amalienborg in a small, decorative format. The façade, the guards, the Danish flag and the green leafy vine give the motif both history and lightness.

The doily is embroidered with Danish Flower Thread on Haandarbejdets Fremme linen 12B. The finished embroidery measures 15 x 15 cm.

A motif with Amalienborg and the Royal Life Guards

The motif is centred around the façade of Amalienborg. The building is embroidered in light, subdued shades with dark window details and a dark roof. The small stitches give the façade a fine architectural expression.

At the top of the building is a small Danish flag. It gives the motif a clear Danish character and creates a fine colour detail in the otherwise calm palette.

In front of the facade stand four guards. They are shown with blue trousers, red uniforms and dark bearskin hats. The small figures bring life to the motif and make the Amalienborg design easy to recognise.

Beneath the building is the text Amalienborg. The text gives the embroidery a clear sense of place and completes the central field in a simple way.

A green leafy vine as a frame

Around the Amalienborg motif runs a green leafy vine. It forms an open wreath around the building and softens the architectural motif.

The leaves are embroidered in several green shades. Some leaves are light and fresh, while others are darker and more subdued. This gives the frame variation and a natural rhythm.

The fine winding stems create movement around the motif. At the same time, the vine gives the doily a decorative and classic expression.

A small embroidery with Danish cultural history

The finished doily measures 15 x 15 cm. The small format makes it well suited as a decorative detail on a table, tray, chest of drawers or in a small arrangement with other embroideries.

The Amalienborg motif is well suited to those who love Danish places, architecture and classic embroidery. It can also be a fine gift for someone with a special connection to Copenhagen or Danish cultural history.

The embroidery is stitched with Danish Flower Thread. The thread gives the green, red, blue, brown and light shades a soft and lively expression.

The fabric is Haandarbejdets Fremme linen 12B. The fine linen structure suits a small motif with many details well. Here, the building, guards, text and leafy vine all stand out clearly.
