The pomegranate pattern in the QUEEN MARGRETE I TABLECLOTH comes from one of the finest historical silk weavings in Danish history: Queen Margrete I’s golden dress. The golden dress was kept with Queen Margrete I’s sarcophagus in Roskilde Cathedral until it was taken to Uppsala in Sweden as booty at the Treaty of Roskilde in 1658. On the occasion of the Kalmar Union Exhibition in 1997, Högskolan in Borås, Sweden, created a faithful copy of the golden dress. The reconstructed templet pattern was lent to Bent Georg Jensen, who translated parts of it for damask weaving.
