Chequerboard border design
Undyed Wool
The open field is left plain in pale ivory, its surface catching light in soft striations that shift subtly from panel to panel. Framing this expanse, a border built of small squares in ivory, beige, taupe, warm rust, chocolate brown and slate grey marches in an irregular, blocky sequence around all four sides. The corners are turned without a clear guard stripe, allowing the checkered pattern to meet directly at each edge.
Undyed Wool
The field is a soft, uneven expanse of taupe and grey-brown tones, its surface shifting subtly in tone like weathered stone. A quiet grid of pale, undyed lines runs irregularly across the ground, forming broken rectangles and open segments rather than a continuous border. The composition remains largely unadorned, with the linear motifs offset asymmetrically toward the corners and center, leaving much of the field open and untouched.
Undyed Wool
The field is left entirely open, without medallion or border, given over to horizontal bands of striated color that shift gradually from pale sand to deep charcoal-brown. These bands are irregular in width, some crisp and others softly blurred where tones bleed into one another, evoking the natural graining of wood or stone. A circular inset shows the surface at close range, revealing the herringbone twist of the strands that make up these subtle tonal variations.
Undyed Wool
The field is left entirely open, its plain surface animated only by soft horizontal striations that ripple across the ground like grain in wood. Tones shift gently from pale flaxen to deeper taupe as the light catches the pile at different angles, with no border or applied ornament to interrupt the expanse. The detail view reveals a fine, even texture of closely aligned fibers running in parallel bands.
Herringbone
Undyed Wool
The field is left entirely open, given over to a fine diagonal herringbone surface that alternates natural cream and taupe tones in narrow chevron rows. A plain flat border in a deeper taupe frames the piece on all sides without further ornament. The detail inset shows the herringbone texture at close range, revealing the crisp zigzag rhythm formed by the two-tone striations.
Herringbone
Undyed Wool
The field is left entirely open, its surface animated only by the subtle diagonal ridges of a herringbone pattern catching the light in soft variations of ivory and pale tan. A narrow, flat band of the same tone runs along the outer edge in place of a decorated border. The detail view reveals the twisted, ropelike texture of the surface up close, showing how the alternating diagonals interlock to form the overall pattern.
Undyed Wool
An open field of finely striated charcoal and slate tones runs in horizontal bands across the surface, with faint threads of taupe and green appearing where the striations catch light. This darker expanse is set within a plain, unadorned border of pale ivory and beige, its surface similarly streaked in a subtler, more uniform rhythm. The transition between field and border is crisp, with no corner devices or secondary framing lines interrupting the two flat planes of color.
Undyed Wool
The field is left entirely open, a single expanse of pale straw and honey tones that shift subtly with the play of light across the surface, without any border or medallion to interrupt it. A detail inset in the lower corner reveals the texture up close, showing rows of twisted strands in varying shades of cream, gold, and soft brown. Loose fringe finishes the lower edge, echoing the same undyed hues seen throughout the surface.
Undyed Wool
The field is left open to a continuous, all-over pattern of layered, arcing lines that curve and overlap like ripples or rolling dunes, rendered in close tonal variations of tan, taupe, and soft grey. No distinct border frames the composition; the wave motifs simply run to the outer edges, their rhythm shifting subtly in density and direction across the surface. Flat fringes finish the top and bottom edges, plain and undecorated.
Undyed Wool
The field is a plain rectangle of mottled grey, its surface built from fine horizontal striations that catch light unevenly across the expanse. A wide, unadorned border in warm sandy tones frames the field on all sides, meeting it in a clean, unbroken line. An inset detail shows the close texture of the surface, where individual plied strands twist and shift between lighter and darker tones.
