Initialed "AB MMF" (AB Märta Måås-Fjetterström)

A plain camel-toned field is scattered evenly with small ivory dots, framed by a narrow dark brown line. The border presents a flame-stitch or ikat-like zigzag pattern in cream, tan, and dark brown, running continuously around all four sides. The overall palette stays within warm neutrals, with the border's serrated motif providing the field's only contrast in pattern.

Embossed Diamond-Weave Raffia

A close-up detail circled in the lower corner isolates the plain diagonal interlacing that forms the surface's diamond pattern across the whole field, with individual strands crossing at even, repeating intervals. The overall surface reads as a uniform pale straw tone, its texture built entirely from the ridged, slightly irregular width of each woven strip catching the light.

The surface presents an all-over pattern of fine horizontal ribbing in off-white, interrupted at regular intervals by short, slanted dashes of charcoal grey that read almost like a broken diagonal stripe across the banding. A circular inset in the lower right offers a magnified view of the same texture, revealing the tight, even ridges and the way the dark accent threads sit slightly raised against the pale ground. No border or central motif interrupts the field; the pattern runs continuously edge to edge.

An allover field with no border, worked in fine horizontal striations of ivory, camel, and dark brown that build a mottled, cloud-like pattern across the surface. Irregular patches of rust and chocolate brown drift over the paler ground, giving the impression of texture rather than a fixed motif. A circular inset in the lower corner offers a close-up view of the same striated surface and its color transitions.

The field is organized into a lattice of stepped diamonds, each enclosing a small four-petaled flower head, repeated in a grid across a soft ivory-pink ground with no two diamonds sharing quite the same color combination. A wide plain mauve-taupe band frames the composition, itself edged by a serrated triangular border in alternating jewel tones of indigo, plum, rust, gold, and slate blue. Colors throughout run through dusty rose, aubergine, olive, cobalt, and salmon, giving the overall surface a patchwork-like variety within its repeating structure.

Oushak Carpet made from salvaged vintage wool.

An overall lattice of scrolling vinework fills the camel-toned field, each compartment holding small palmettes, rosettes, and paired birds rendered in slate blue, soft brown, and ivory. Scattered among the lattice are pairs of small animals, possibly deer, worked into the lower and side sections, along with pendant medallions in blue and cream. The wide border repeats a rosette-and-vine pattern against a lighter tan ground, framed by narrower blue guard stripes with a serrated leaf motif.
