Traditional Designs

The field is composed of an assembled grid of rectangular panels, each woven with fine horizontal striations in tonal variations of taupe, camel, ivory, and warm brown. Some panels shift to solid cream or deeper chocolate blocks, creating a patchwork of tone rather than a single continuous pattern, with a few thin accents of pale yellow and grey threading through the striped sections. There is no border in the traditional sense; the composition reads as a series of joined fields, each retaining its own striped or solid character.

The field is a mottled grey-and-white ground scattered with clusters of ivory, fan-shaped forms resembling coral or shell fronds, their surfaces marked with fine radiating pleats. The largest cluster rises through the center in a loose vertical column, while smaller groupings drift toward the corners and lower edge, leaving open ground between them. There is no distinct border; the fan motifs simply thin out toward the piece's edges.

An open ivory ground is scattered with faceted, fan-shaped forms resembling shattered crystals or geometric fireworks, rendered in graduated tones of taupe, brown, and warm gray, several accented with narrow striped bands of ochre, rust, and cream. Larger clustered bursts occupy the center and lower field while smaller fragments echo in the corners, all set against faint diagonal guide lines visible beneath the ground. There is no separate border; the motifs run to the edges, giving the composition an unbounded, fractured quality.

A field of mottled grey ground is left otherwise unadorned, allowing angular white and ivory forms resembling faceted crystalline branches to climb from the lower edge toward the upper corners. Each branching cluster is built from flat planes with fine internal line work suggesting facets, and the shapes are cropped at the four corners, implying continuation beyond the woven edge. The overall palette stays within a narrow range of warm greys and off-whites, with no additional border framing the composition.

A dark brown ground, pieced from irregular polygonal segments, is scattered with fan-shaped bursts in shades of beige, tan, and taupe, each rendered with fine striated lines radiating outward like folded pleats. The motifs vary in size and orientation, some clustered tightly and others isolated, creating an all-over pattern without a distinct border. The composition reads as a continuous field, the geometric seams between sections faintly visible beneath the design.

The field has no border, filled edge to edge with an all-over pattern of angular, fan-shaped bursts radiating like fractured petals or shards across the surface. The palette moves through charcoal and slate grey grounds interrupted by ivory, taupe, and warm brown segments, each fan striated with fine parallel lines that catch the light differently within each facet. The design reads as a continuous shattered or crystalline surface, with no central medallion or directional orientation.

A large open field of unadorned ivory dominates the center, left plain apart from faint vertical seam lines. It is framed by a wide border built of small rectangular panels, each striped vertically in alternating bands of brown, tan, cream, and occasional gray, with the direction of the stripes shifting from panel to panel to create a patchwork, basket-weave rhythm around all four sides.

An unbordered field given entirely to a woven basket-weave illusion, alternating blocks of narrow black-and-ivory stripes with plain ivory and pale beige panels set on the diagonal. The pattern reads as interlaced ribbons across the whole surface, with no central medallion or framing border to interrupt the grid. Tonal variation between the solid blocks gives a subtle checkered depth beneath the stripe motif.

A field of diamond compartments each quartered into triangles of ivory, taupe, warm tan, and soft gray, forming an all-over checkerboard-on-point pattern that repeats without a distinct border. Edges are finished with a plain flat binding that outlines the diamond grid rather than framing it separately.

An overall repeating pattern of small dark squares set on an ivory ground, each block accompanied by thin horizontal or vertical lines in brown and gray that shift orientation across the field, creating a basket-weave rhythm with no distinct border framing the design. The composition runs edge to edge, the squares slightly irregular in placement and size, giving the surface a hand-drawn, grid-like quality.
