Den danske kongerække - wall piece - Åse Nyegård (ÅN)

The history of Denmark can be told in many ways. In books, in museums, through castles and old documents. But here, it is told in embroidery. The Danish Royal Line - wall piece - Åse Nyegård (ÅN) is a large and richly detailed embroidery kit, where the Danish monarchs are gathered in one long, vertical wall piece. The motif has both historical weight and decorative lightness, because each king and queen is depicted as a small figure with name, year and characteristic dress.

An embroidered overview of the Danish royal line

The motif shows the Danish royal line from approx. 890 to anno 1972. At the top, there is a title and small decorative elements, which introduce the motif with a clear historical frame. From there, the wall piece continues down through rows of monarchs, placed in small fields divided by green borders and red, column-like markings.

Each figure has its own expression. Some stand in long robes, others in uniforms, armour or colourful garments. There are kings with crowns, cloaks, swords and shields, and there are queens in dresses and historical clothing. The colours shift from red, green and blue to yellow, black and golden shades. This gives the motif a lively and varied expression, even though the structure is strict and easy to follow.

The small names and years beneath the figures make the wall piece more than a decorative piece of embroidery. It also works as a historical overview, where you can follow the line of monarchs down through time. The motif invites you to look closely, read, recognise and discover details in the individual figures.

A large wall piece with many fine details

The finished wall piece measures 45 x 115 cm. The long format is particularly well suited to the structure of the motif, where history unfolds from top to bottom. The embroidery has a clear presence on the wall and is well suited for framing or hanging in a room where you want a motif with both cultural history and needlework value.

This embroidery kit is embroidered with Danish Flower Thread on Haandarbejdets Fremme linen 12B. The combination creates a classic and precise embroidery, where the small figures, letters, years and ornaments can stand out clearly. Danish Flower Thread gives the colours a soft and natural expression, which suits a motif with so many historical figures and textual details.

The embroidery is ideal for those who love large projects, historical motifs and embroidery with many small elements. The work constantly shifts between figures, colours, names and decorative borders, making the process varied and engaging.
