Kay Bojesen | Hans Christian Andersen | Shepherdess

The Shepherdess looks amazing in the Kay Bojesen interpretation with golden shoes, a gold hat and a staff – just like H.C. Andersen describes her in the fairy tale. By herself she is beautiful and graceful, and together with the Chimney Sweeper they become a symbol of love and unity. The Shepherdess is turned in FSC-certified beechwood and is characterized by the quality craftsmanship that all wooden Kay Bojesen figurines are made with. Furthermore, she is painted by hand with great precisions and accuracy, ensuring the magic and wonder that can only be added by the human hand. Kay Bojesen was able to turn wood into original stories like no other. With his deep passion for craftsmanship and eye for detail, over the years he created an imaginative world of figures and objects, each one with its own unique story. As such, he became one of Denmark’s greatest craftsmen, and his designs will continue to hold a firm place in Danish design history.
