Swedish Half- Pile

A plain-field piece with no border, its surface built entirely from fine horizontal striations running the width of the piece in alternating tones of tan, camel and cream. The detail inset shows the texture close up, revealing flecks of rust and ivory twisted through the banded rows. The overall effect is a quiet, evenly repeating stripe with no other motifs or inscriptions visible.

Swedish Pile

Double-sided

The field is covered by an all-over lattice of blue ogival medallions enclosing small diamond forms in ochre and green, set against a rose-red ground with tiny green diamond accents filling the interstices. A narrow ivory guard stripe separates the field from the wide plain brown border, which is itself framed by a slim dark outer band. The pattern repeats with great regularity, giving the surface a dense, textile-like uniformity from edge to edge.

Finnish Flat Weave & Pile

An open, unadorned field in pale chartreuse-yellow is animated by a repeating pattern of horizontal, wave-like undulating lines running the full width, rendered in a slightly deeper tone that catches the light against the ground. There is no border to speak of, the design simply running to the edges, which finish in a plain fringe of matching pale threads at both ends.

Swedish Relief Pile

Pile and Flat Weave

An ivory field is overlaid with an all-over lattice of pale sage-green diamonds, each corner turning into a small hooked spiral. The narrow border repeats a single outlined band in the same soft green, running unbroken around all four sides. The palette stays close throughout, with the pattern rendered mainly through texture and outline rather than strong color contrast.

Swedish Pile

An ivory field scattered with blue animal figures rendered in a simple, flattened style, interspersed with small stepped and geometric motifs, sprigs of foliage, and scattered polychrome dots in red, yellow, and green. Diagonal banded corner devices define the field's edges, all enclosed within a narrow yellow inner stripe and a broader ivory border filled with small diamond, zigzag, and stacked-triangle ornaments. The end finishes retain long warp fringe, and a coral-toned outer guard stripe runs along the top and bottom edges.

Swedish Pile

The field is composed of an irregular patchwork of rectangular and square blocks in shades of teal, sage, and olive green, resembling an aerial view of cultivated fields, with thin meandering lines connecting scattered small motifs across the surface. Interspersed within the blocks are small checkerboard and diamond patches in rust, gold, and cream, along with tiny scattered flecks in white and orange. A plain dark brown-maroon border frames the composition, edged by a wider band of terracotta at the outermost margin.

Swedish Pile

An ivory field carries a vertical repeat of stylized floral bouquets in soft powder blue, dusty pink, and mustard yellow, arranged in mirrored rows that step down the length of the piece. A slender gold-yellow line frames the field, followed by a narrow border of angular blue and pink sprigs against a warm taupe ground. Loose fringe remains visible at both ends.
