Queen Máxima will receive more information about embroidery on Sunday, so that she can help embroider the new curtains in the Chinese Hall of Paleis Huis ten Bosch in The Hague.
‘Handicraft groups from all over the country are helping to embroider the new curtains for the Chinese Hall of Huis ten Bosch Palace’, the Royal House shares via social media. ‘Queen Máxima is at an instruction today, so that she can also embroider on the curtains herself.’
The attached photos show that the queen is busy embroidering, along with a number of other women. She can also be seen bending over an embroidery with a few others, ostensibly to discuss it with the rest.
At the beginning of this year, the TextielMuseum in Tilburg started making new curtains for the Chinese Hall, one of the reception areas of the Palace. The design is a modern remake of the 18th century silk curtains. The historic curtains turned out to be too vulnerable for daily use, the Royal House said.
The design is worked out on a high-tech embroidery machine in the TextielMuseum. After that, more than a hundred craft enthusiasts and Queen Máxima add embroidery, under the guidance of an embroidery expert. The result can be seen this autumn, together with the historical curtains and stories of craftsmen, in an exhibition in the Tilburg museum.
It was an active weekend for the queen: on Saturday she already helped muck out a stable.
