South American

100% White and Melange Blue Cotton

An open, undecorated field in mottled charcoal-grey fills the center, framed by a plain ivory band and then a wider outer border of the same speckled grey worked with a running key-fret pattern in ivory. The detail inset shows the close, ridged texture of the surface and the crisp transition where the pale border meets the dark field. The corners are left simple, with no additional medallions or figures interrupting the geometry of the borders.

100% White and Melange Grey Cotton

The field is left entirely open, a soft ivory ground with a fine textured surface that catches the light in subtle horizontal ridges. A continuous grey key-fret meander runs around all four sides, its angular hooks and steps rendered in a slightly heathered tone against the pale ground. The border is bound close to the edge, with the fret pattern turning neatly at each corner without interruption, and a close-up detail confirms the crisp, even geometry of the interlocking motif.

The field is covered edge to edge with a repeating diamond lattice, each elongated diamond bisected by a fine vertical line and alternating between a taupe ground and an open ivory ground. A slim ivory-and-taupe border frames the composition without further ornament, echoing the same two tones seen in the field.

60% Cotton, 40% Wool

The field is left uninterrupted by borders, its entire surface given over to a continuous diamond lattice formed by small stepped squares in undyed ivory against a warm tan ground. The repeat runs cleanly from selvedge to selvedge, each lozenge nesting into the next in a steady vertical cadence, while the pattern terminates abruptly at top and bottom into loose, unknotted fringe.

20% Cotton, 80% Linen

An all-over lattice of small nested diamonds covers the field in tone-on-tone ivory and pale cream, each diamond containing a smaller diamond at its center. A plain narrow border frames the field, echoed by a wider outer band of finely textured cream. The detail inset shows the corner treatment, where the diamond lattice steps inward toward a plain border in graduated square forms.

Cotton design with grey wool background

The field is laid out in an all-over lattice of interlocking diamonds and hexagons, each cell holding a small flowerhead motif rendered in tone-on-tone ivory against the pale ground. A narrower version of the same diamond trellis runs along the border, framing the composition with a continuous line rather than a distinct corner treatment. A detail inset at lower right shows the crisp, even texture of the pattern up close, revealing how the geometric shapes are built from small repeated stitches.

Cotton design with brown wool background

60% Cotton, 40% Wool

The field is organized into repeating horizontal bands of concentric diamond forms, each rendered in a shimmering interplay of gold and ivory that creates an optical, almost vibrating pattern. These diamond registers alternate with narrow striped bands of ivory and dark brown, providing a crisp horizontal rhythm across the surface. Fringed ends finish the piece top and bottom, plain and undyed.

100% Cream Cotton

The field is given over entirely to a repeating fretwork of interlocking, right-angled lines forming a grid of stepped keys and small cross-shaped medallions, each unit radiating symmetrically from its center. The pattern is rendered through a subtle contrast of textures rather than color, with the raised, corded lines standing slightly proud of the flatter ground so the geometry reads through surface relief. A plain, narrow border frames the composition, left free of ornament so the interior lattice remains the sole focus.
