Traditional “Danmark” needlepoint featuring elements of Danish heritage. The four layer strata depicts two Danish flags, agricultural and musical iconography. The last layer pays tribute to Danish geography. Beneath this rendering of clouds, mountains and grasses is what seems to be a word written in Danish. The needlepoint is beautifully presented in an ornate gold frame with a panel of acrylic protecting the art. A striking mid-century Danish textile tableau whose layered needlepoint composition evokes national pride and sweeping Scandinavian imagery. Executed in the 1970s in Denmark, this rare example of embroidered wall art presents four distinct layers of hand-stitched needlepoint: two subtle renditions of the Danish flag (“Danmark”), agricultural and musical iconography, and, in the deepest register, a poetic representation of Danish geography — soft mountains, gentle clouds, and rolling grass. The lower register bears a hand-inscribed Danish word (now subtly rendered into the layering), adding the aura of a once-personal commission. The piece is mounted under clear acrylic and beautifully set within a gilded decorative frame, enhancing its presence and ready for immediate display. Designed for the collector of fine textile art...

Vintage handmade fully glazed Swedish midcentury modern wall platter / centrepiece with organic, floral decor depicting a gazelle with a direct gaze surrounded by vegetation in brown, ochre, green, white and bright pink colors on a striped dark blue background created with the experimental sgraffito technique that Tilgmans became famous for. Designed and handpainted in the late 1950s by Eivor Lang and manufactured by German/Finnish Paul Harald Tilgman in his workshop in the small town of Kortedala close to Gothenburg, Sweden. Milky white glaze on the base and sides with curved, muted green decor framing the image along the edge. Three holes for hanging - two in use with metal wire. Signed under base. A handpainted piece in beautiful condition. Paul Harald “Harry” Tilgmann was born in Dresden, Germany in 1904 and emigrated to Sweden during WWII where he started Tilgmans Keramik (= Ceramics) in 1948 in the small town of Utbynäs close to Gothenburg. Tilgman had 16 employees working for him and when he hired the Polish refugee Marian Zawadzki (1912-1978) as artistic director in 1953, Tilgman Keramik started experimenting with the distinct sgraffito technique. The sgraffito technique consists of carving fine lines into the background of a design through a light colored glaze down to a dark grey clay slip. This created a unique textured ground which has become a style associated with Tilgmans Keramik in particular. The decorative elements also appear to be outlined with a carved line and then hand painted with overglazes where birds, fish, flowers, butterflies and other animals were a common theme. This type of work was the most popular in midcentury Sweden alongside Tilgmans small animal figurines...
