Liljekonval – wall piece – Gerda Bengtsson (GB)
"Lily of the Valley" is a classic wall piece in which Gerda Bengtsson renders the spring flower with great botanical precision. The motif shows a gathered bouquet of lily of the valley. The hanging white bells stand in delicate contrast to the strong green leaves. The expression is simple and clear.
The composition is centred and calm. The bouquet stands freely against the neutral background, giving the motif air and focus. The slender stems draw the flowers together into a harmonious whole. The form is well balanced and light.
The colours are subdued and true to nature. The white flowers appear crisp against the deep green tones. Danish Flower Thread provides soft transitions and a matte surface. The linen from Haandarbejdets Fremme supports the botanical expression and adds life to the textile.
The wall piece fits beautifully into both classic and modern interiors. It works well on its own, but also in combination with other botanical motifs. The format is elegant and well suited to smaller wall surfaces.
For retailers, Lily of the Valley – wall piece – Gerda Bengtsson (GB) is a safe and timeless design. It represents Gerda Bengtsson’s strong connection to Haandarbejdets Fremme and the association’s tradition of nature-true embroidery of high quality.
