Cintemani designs: three-ball cluster, leopard spot, tiger stripe in three styles

Reading 1Three balls
Reading 2Ball and stripe
Reading 3Wavy pairs

Cintemani is three balls above two wavy stripes: the Ottoman court's stamp, put on kaftan silk, ceramic and a sultan's tent, its leopard spot and tiger stripe borrowed and formalised into strict repeat. These nine carry a three-ball cluster, a leopard spot and a tiger stripe through Ottoman court repeat, kaftan silk colour and formalised strict pattern. Ask for a different cluster arrangement and the same three court styles carry it.

Frequently asked questions

What size do these print at?
Each design is drawn as a seamless repeat at A3 proportions with an even margin, so it prints clean at A3 or scales to A4 or a fabric swatch.
Can I ask for a different arrangement of the three balls?
Yes — the direction field takes any spacing or arrangement you name, and the same three court styles render it.
What's the difference between the three styles?
The three-ball-cluster style keeps the classic dot-and-stripe unit isolated; the leopard-spot style opens the ground to a mottled field; the tiger-stripe style renders the wavy lines as bolder banding.
Is this respectful of real cintemani craft?
The set draws on the Ottoman court's cintemani textile tradition as a style reference for a generated print, not a reproduction of any specific workshop's or court's cloth, and not a claim to be hand-woven silk.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
