Damask pattern: leaf, pomegranate, crown in three colourways

Damask — Ornaments the size of a lentil in a fine ogee armature, tone on tone so the pattern shows only as a shift in sheen, half-drop rows, the surface reading as plain figured silk., damask repeat, a symmetrical ornament held in an ogee armature on a half-drop, drawn tone on tone so the figure reads by sheen rather than by colour, satin sheen against a matte ground

Damask is a figured weave read as one colour against itself: a symmetrical ornament set in an ogee armature and repeated on a half-drop. These nine hold a leaf motif, a pomegranate motif and a crown motif, all in that same tone-on-tone sheen. Ask for a different ground colour and the same ogee armature carries it.

Frequently asked questions

What size do these print at?
Each damask field is a seamless repeat at A3 proportions, printing clean at A4 or scaling to wallpaper and fabric yardage.
Can I get a different ground colour?
Yes — name any tone-on-tone colour, and the same ogee armature and half-drop layout render it.
What's the difference between the three motifs?
Leaf uses a botanical leaf ornament; pomegranate carries the traditional fruit-and-seed figure; crown sets a crown ornament inside the same ogee shape.
Is this printed like a photograph of woven damask, or drawn flat?
It's drawn as a flat tone-on-tone print referencing the reversible figured-weave technique real damask uses, not a photographic scan of actual woven cloth.

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.
