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.

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.
single level, cut pile
DESIGN: Bleached Silk
FIELD: Salu Wool
100% Cotton
The field is left entirely open, an unadorned expanse of pale straw and ivory tones streaked horizontally by the irregular texture of the surface. A soft diagonal band of deeper amber and ochre moves across the composition from lower left to upper right, its edges blurred rather than sharply drawn. Scattered small knots and slubs interrupt the striated ground, giving the whole an uneven, hand-worked quality with no border or framing device.
100% Cotton
The field is left entirely open, filled only by the irregular texture of the surface itself, banded horizontally in shifting tones of ivory, taupe, and dark brown. Diagonal streaks of darker fiber cut across the lighter ground in a loose zigzag, creating a subtle chevron-like rhythm rather than a formal pattern. There is no border, medallion, or figural motif; the interest lies wholly in the variegated color and the uneven, striated weave visible edge to edge.
