Armoiries Fréderic 1 du Danemark (1523-1533) Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal Design

This striking design presents the intricate heraldic arms of King Frederick I of Denmark, reigning from 1523 to 1533. The artwork is a faithful representation of the King’s coat of arms, a symbol of royal authority and territorial claims.

Design Elements and Symbolism

The core of the design is a shield quartered by a prominent silver cross pattée edged in red. This cross, a visual representation of the Dannebrog, the historic Danish flag, immediately identifies the design with Denmark and the royal lineage.

The shield is further divided into four distinct quarters, each representing a territory or claim. The first quarter features the iconic arms of Denmark: a gold field adorned with nine red hearts arranged in three vertical rows, with three blue lions, crowned and passant. The second quarter, representing Norway, displays a gold lion holding a silver axe against a red background. The third quarter, denoting Schleswig, depicts two blue lions on a gold field. The final quarter, reflecting Holstein, showcases a silver nettle leaf on a red field.

At the center, "sur-le-tout," a smaller escutcheon, reveals the dynastic roots of the King. This central element features the arms of Oldenburg, the ruling house: two red horizontal bars on a gold field. This inclusion emphasizes Frederick I's personal family lineage and his connection to the House of Oldenburg.

Overall Impression

The overall impression of the design is one of regal complexity and historical significance. The carefully arranged elements and vibrant colors create a visually compelling emblem that is rich in symbolism. It is a powerful statement of royal authority, territorial claims, and dynastic lineage.
