Danish History Art Appraisal

Framed Danish Monarchy Historical Print

This item is a framed historical art print, likely a decorative piece or souvenir, focused on the Danish monarchy. The print's central theme is the lineage of Queen Margrethe II, tracing her ancestry back to Gorm the Old, stated as the founder of the 'oldest kingdom of the world.' The artwork features a colorful array of figures dressed in historical costumes, presumably representing different monarchs or historical periods within Danish history. The figures are arranged in rows, with text boxes interspersed providing narrative details. The print is housed in a simple, rectangular wooden frame with a medium-brown stain, exhibiting a somewhat worn appearance, possibly due to age or handling. The frame has visible mitered corners and a relatively thin profile. The print itself appears to be in good condition, with vibrant colors and no apparent fading, although the image resolution does not allow for close inspection of potential minor marks or discoloration. The glass covering the print shows some reflections, indicating it is present and intact. The overall aesthetic suggests a piece from the mid to late 20th century, given the illustrative style and the mention of Queen Margrethe II, who ascended the throne in 1972. There are no visible maker's marks or signatures on the print or frame from the provided image. The backing of the frame is not visible, so details on its construction or any hanging hardware are unknown. The craftsmanship of the frame appears basic but functional, typical of mass-produced decorative art.
