Troldand – wall piece – Claus Bering (CB)

"Troldand" (Tufted Duck) – wall piece – Claus Bering (CB) is an embroidery in which the bird’s distinctive form and strong colour contrast stand out clearly against a calm water surface. The motif shows a swimming tufted duck with dark, almost blue-black plumage and a striking white flank. The light breast is reflected in the water, creating a clear and graphic effect.

The bird’s head is slightly turned. The characteristic shape of the nape and the bright eye give the motif presence and vitality. The water is worked in fine horizontal stitches in shades of blue. The gentle movement of the surface forms a circular composition around the bird and emphasises its silhouette.

The colour scheme is balanced and cool. The dark tones of the plumage contrast with the lighter blue areas surrounding it. The reflection in the water adds depth and calm. Danish Flower Thread gives the embroidery a lively surface with subtle nuances in the darker areas, while linen 10B from Haandarbejdets Fremme supports the details and highlights the precision of the motif.

This wall piece is rooted in the tradition of Haandarbejdets Fremme for nature and animal motifs of high professional quality. The embroidery combines naturalistic depiction with clear composition. Within a retail assortment, the design represents a strong nature motif with broad appeal to customers seeking embroidery marked by calmness, depth and a distinct Danish design foundation.
