Salt & Black Pepper Panels. Simple and strengthened bleached linen stitching with Button stitch around the edges.

A pale gray ground, striated with fine directional shading, is divided into large angular facets by visible topstitched seams. Three faceted, fan-like forms rise from the lower edge and left side in shades of dark brown, taupe, and ivory, their crystalline points converging toward the upper register where a single ivory shape stands apart from the darker cluster. The composition reads as an abstract, almost geological arrangement of interlocking planes rather than a traditional repeating pattern.

An ivory ground carries an interlocking honeycomb lattice, each hexagon outlined in pale gray with alternating segments picked out in a soft slate blue, giving the pattern a woven, ribbon-like overlap. The design runs edge to edge without a distinct border, the hexagons cropped at the margins so the trellis appears to extend beyond the field. The palette stays close throughout, only the blue accents breaking the overall whiteness.

A plain-ground textile shown in close, raking light, its surface entirely undecorated apart from the subtle grid of horizontal and vertical structural lines that catch the light as the fabric folds. The palette is a narrow range of ivory and pale grey, with tonal shifts created by the draping rather than by any applied pattern. No border, motif, or inscription is visible; the interest here lies purely in the texture and the soft diagonal fall of the material.

Sheer fabric and curtain.

Broad bands of natural cream ground alternate with horizontal stripes of deep brown, each brown band edged with a thin line of rust red. A faint dotted gray thread runs just beneath several of the brown stripes, and both ends finish in loose, undyed warp fringe.

The field is a solid expanse of deep blue, its surface catching light unevenly so that the tone shifts from teal to near-navy across the surface. Slender floral-and-stem motifs, worked in a subtly darker blue, march along the top and bottom borders and rise partway up the two side edges, tapering off before reaching the upper corners. The overall composition reads as an open, largely unadorned centre framed by this restrained tonal patterning.

An elongated central medallion in olive green, filled with small rosettes and pierced by a lighter interior lozenge, sits within a sand-colored field scattered with rosette blossoms in rust, slate blue, and pale lavender. The wide border is composed of rows of circular medallions, each enclosing a four-pointed star flanked by small florets, repeated evenly along all four sides with a thin patterned guard stripe framing the inner edge. Colors throughout are muted golds, olive, terracotta red, dusty blue, and pale lilac against the warm neutral ground.
