Hvid rose - large bellpull - Gerda Bengtsson (GB)
White Rose - large bellpull - Gerda Bengtsson (GB) is a classic cross stitch embroidery featuring a long and harmonious motif of green rose branches and open white roses. The motif winds elegantly upwards through the bellpull, where leaves, buds and flowers form a lively and natural composition.
The white roses stand beautifully among the many green shades. The embroidery has a light and botanical expression, where the delicate leaves and winding stems create movement and rhythm within the motif. The colour palette feels calm and Nordic, with a natural interplay between light and dark green tones.
The bellpull has a classic format that makes the embroidery particularly suitable as a decorative hanging piece in the home. The elongated motif emphasises the organic growth of the plants and gives the embroidery an elegant and cohesive appearance. At the same time, the white roses add a lightness that balances the details and lush greenery.
The embroidery is stitched with Danish Flower Thread on Haandarbejdets Fremme linen fabric 10B. The matte finish of the thread creates soft colour transitions, while the linen fabric highlights the clear structure of the cross stitches. Together, the materials give the embroidery a classic and timeless appearance with great depth in the green tones.
The motif suits both traditional and modern interiors. The bellpull can be displayed on its own or combined with other botanical embroidery designs by Gerda Bengtsson. Its long format makes it especially decorative beside windows, cabinets or narrow wall spaces.
Gerda Bengtsson is known for her nature-inspired embroidery designs and her keen understanding of plant forms and colours. Her designs are characterised by simplicity, balance and strong botanical sensitivity, qualities that have made her embroidery an important part of Danish embroidery history.
