Martsviol – bell pull – Gerda Bengtsson (GB)
"Martsviol" is an elegant bell pull in which Gerda Bengtsson interprets the early spring violet with clear botanical precision. The motif features a slender, vertical garland with purple flowers, rounded green leaves, and fine root details.
The colour palette is subdued and harmonious. The violet blossoms stand out clearly against the light linen ground, while the green tones vary gently, adding depth without appearing heavy.
The composition is simple and well balanced. Each plant is easily recognisable, and the repetition within the motif creates calm and rhythm in the narrow format. The design appears both decorative and classic.
The bell pull format makes it well suited for hanging by doorways, in the kitchen, or on smaller wall surfaces. The finishing ring and bell give a traditional expression and complete the overall design.
The embroidery is worked in Danish Flower Thread, ensuring clear colours and an even stitch structure. The 10B linen fabric from Haandarbejdets Fremme provides a stable and beautiful base for the embroidery.
Martsviol – bell pull – Gerda Bengtsson (GB) is a timeless design that brings the lightness of spring into the home. The motif fits naturally into a range of classic, botanical embroidery designs.
