Swedish Pile

Attributed to Elsa Gullberg

An ivory ground is overlaid with a repeating grid of stylized scrolling motifs in soft sage green, each unit resembling an interlocked hook or key form arranged in tidy horizontal rows. The pattern is rendered with a slightly irregular, hand-drawn quality, the green outlines varying subtly in thickness and curve from one repeat to the next. Plain warp ends are gathered into loose fringe at both the top and bottom edges.
