Swedish Flat Weave

A long narrow runner with an open, unpatterned field of finely mottled charcoal, slate, and warm brown tones that create a subtle horizontal striation across the surface. The field runs edge to edge without a distinct border, and each end finishes in a plain ivory-toned fringe.

Swedish Flat Weave

A long runner composed of alternating horizontal bands in charcoal-grey and undyed ivory, each dark stripe edged with a thin line of small contrasting flecks where the two tones meet. The field carries no other ornament, relying entirely on the rhythm of the stripes, and finishes at both ends in a plain fringe. The detail view shows the grey bands as a heathered mix of dark and light fibers rather than a flat solid color.

Swedish Flat Weave

A long runner divided into a grid of two columns and eight rows, each compartment filled with an abstract patchwork of rectangular blocks in varying tones of green, cream, and brown, punctuated by small orange squares. The compartments are separated by solid bands of dark brown and bright green, creating a strong geometric lattice across the field, with no distinct border treatment separating the design from the edges.

Rose

A trellis lattice of striped cream and rose ribbons crosses the golden field, each diamond compartment enclosing a small floral spray of pink blossoms and pale blue-green leaves. The lattice intersections are marked by ivory rosettes, and the whole is enclosed by a pale celadon border of scrolling vine tendrils, framed further by a narrow striped guard band and a plain dark outer edge.

Rose

The field is built on a golden-tan ground overlaid with a diamond trellis of pink-and-cream striped ribbon, each lattice cell centered on a small floral spray of pink rosebuds, yellow blossoms, and pale green leaves. A cream border with a repeating red-and-pink scrolling vine runs along all sides, framed by a narrow gold band and an outer dark brown edge, with small floral corner motifs where the border meets.

Wiener Werkstatte

An olive-brown ground carries an all-over lattice of scrolling rust-colored vines that curl into interlocking medallions, each bordered by dense sprays of pale sage leaves and studded with small rosette-like blossoms in cream and coral. A narrow guard stripe of blue and cream banding separates the field from a wide border repeating the same leafy vine motif, with a scalloped leaf-and-vine crest running along the top edge.

Sea Green

Mixed flatweave techinique

A pale celadon field carries an evenly spaced lattice of shield-shaped medallions alternating with fleur-de-lis-like palmettes, connected by fine diagonal lines forming a diamond trellis. Large curling acanthus leaves in ochre, olive, and soft rose fill the wide border, echoing the scrolling forms found within the field. The palette throughout stays soft and muted, built from straw yellow, sage green, dusty pink, and warm taupe, with the ground left open and airy around the repeating motifs.

Red Vine

A pale gold field is overlaid with a mirrored lattice of red-outlined lancet forms enclosing scrolling palmettes, sickle leaves, and small florets in slate blue, ivory, olive, and brick red. A narrow rose-colored band separates the field from a wide green border filled with rosettes and leafy vine scrolls, itself framed by slimmer guard stripes of tan and ivory with a small-scale floral trail.
