80% Grey Melange Wool, 20% Cotton

The field is left entirely open, given over to a fine horizontal striation of grey and undyed ivory that runs edge to edge without a border to contain it. Up close the surface resolves into a tight vertical ribbing, tiny flecked ladder-rungs of grey and cream that catch light unevenly across the plane. No motifs, medallions, or corner devices interrupt the striped ground; the effect is entirely textural, built from the alternating tonal bands themselves.

80% Wool, 20% Cotton

The field is composed of narrow horizontal bands filled with irregular zigzag lines in warm brown against an ivory ground, giving the surface a subtle striped, almost corrugated rhythm. There is no border to speak of; the pattern runs unbroken from edge to edge, with the zigzags varying slightly in height and spacing from row to row. A detail view shows the flat, ridged surface texture created by the tightly packed horizontal striations.

The field is organized in horizontal bands of small diamond and lozenge motifs alternating with plain striped registers, all rendered in a restrained range of ivory, taupe and warm gray. There is no separate border framing the composition, the banded pattern running edge to edge, and a detail inset at lower right reveals the close diagonal ribbing of the surface texture.

80% Wool, 20% Cotton

The field is composed of narrow vertical striations in muted grey-green tones, broken by fine ivory lines that run the length of the piece like rain streaks. Scattered irregularly across this striped ground are small oval motifs in a deep rose-red, placed without evident symmetry or repeating pattern. A detail inset at the lower right highlights the texture of the surface, showing the interplay of the vertical lines and the soft rounded edges of the red accents.

20% Cotton, 80% Dark Grey Wool

A long, narrow runner with a plain central field bordered by narrow striped bands running along both long edges. The field surface is composed of fine horizontal ridges in alternating light and dark grey tones, giving a subtle textured, almost corduroy-like rhythm across its length. The detail view reveals a close pattern of small looped or knotted marks arranged in diagonal rows against the pale ground, with the darker grey elements forming an irregular dotted grid across the surface.

80% Wool, 20% Cotton with blue accents

The surface presents a fine vertical striation of ivory and slate-grey tones, resembling a subtle ribbed weave. Scattered irregularly across the field are small square accents in a soft blue, spaced without evident symmetry, giving the plain ground a quiet, speckled rhythm. A detail inset at the lower right shows the texture and one of these blue accents at close range, revealing the fine linear structure of the surface.

80% Wool, 20% Cotton with green accents

An allover diamond lattice repeats across the surface in ivory and slate grey, with small square accents of muted green scattered irregularly through the pattern. The tonality shifts subtly from darker charcoal at top and bottom to a paler, silvery band across the middle, giving the field a gentle horizontal gradation. A detail inset at lower right shows the tight, even structure of the interlacing threads that forms the diamond motif.

"Aramu"

80% Wool, 20% Cotton

The surface is covered edge to edge by a small repeating diamond lattice, formed by short dashes of ivory set against a mottled grey-brown ground. No border frames the field; the pattern runs continuously to the edges of the visible section. An inset circle at the lower right offers a close-up of the same diamond structure, showing the individual dashes that build each lozenge.

80% Wool, 20% Cotton

The surface is built from a continuous herringbone chevron pattern in alternating tones of green-grey and ivory, creating a subtle zigzag texture across the whole ground. Scattered irregularly over this field are small V-shaped accents in a deep plum tone, standing out against the muted striping. A detail inset at lower right isolates one of these plum marks, showing how it interrupts the herringbone rows rather than following their diagonal line.
