Red Vine

An ivory field is overlaid with a lattice of interlocking arched medallions rendered in rust, slate blue, and olive floral sprays, with small diamond-shaped devices marking the points where the arches meet. The border repeats a leafy scrolling vine in green against tan, framed by narrow guard stripes in cream and soft rose. Colors throughout stay muted - ivory, sage green, dusty coral, and pale blue - giving the whole surface an even, pastel tonality.

Shah Abus

The field is a soft taupe-brown ground covered edge to edge with an all-over lattice of scrolling vines bearing palmettes, rosettes, and elongated leaf and paisley-like forms rendered in ivory and pale beige. A wide main border of similar floral scrollwork frames the field, flanked by narrower guard stripes with small repeating blossom motifs. The overall palette stays within a muted range of warm browns and creams, with no figural or inscriptive elements visible.

Swedish Pile

A nested rectilinear composition centers a solid sage-green field enclosing a smaller mauve rectangle, itself containing a narrow chevron-striped panel in black, cream, and plum. The surrounding cream ground carries scattered small motifs — X-shaped crosses and quartered squares in mauve, yellow, and green — set within a broad plum border. Outer bands combine a zigzag chevron pattern in black, cream, and mauve with a slate-blue strip patterned in small squares, framed at the very edge by a black band of stacked X-forms.

Swedish Flat Weave

A long, narrow runner composed entirely of horizontal bands in a mottled multicolor palette—rose, orange, denim blue, cream, and touches of brown and black—with no distinct border separating field from edge. The detail view shows the banding built up from fine, irregular striations rather than a repeating printed pattern, giving the surface a variegated, almost speckled texture. Fringe is visible at the top end where the warp ends are left loose.

Swedish Pile

A pale pinkish-beige field is scattered with small notched, U-shaped and bracket-like marks in yellow and soft green, arranged in loose diagonal drifts across the surface. A narrow dark brown line frames the field, set within a wide, abrashed sage-green border finished at each end with a slim dark-brown geometric guard stripe. The overall palette stays soft and muted, with the field motifs reading almost like scattered brushstrokes against the plain ground.

Swedish Flat Weave

A camel-toned field is set with a lattice of eight-pointed red stars edged in pink and blue diamonds, arranged in a repeating grid with two half-stars breaking the sequence at top and bottom center. The wide dark brown border repeats the same star motif in red, pink, and blue against black, giving the field and border a matched visual rhythm. A small watermark reading a website name appears in the lower left corner of the image, unrelated to the object itself.

Swedish Flat Weave

An open ivory field is scattered with small diamond-shaped florettes in blue, rose, and mustard, evenly spaced across the ground. A broad border of interlocking rosette medallions in rose, sky blue, and green with white accents frames the field on all sides, enclosed by a slate-blue outer band and finished with warp fringe at both ends.
