Reading 1Fish in the pond
Reading 2Palmette scroll
Reading 3Medallion field

The knotted Persian carpet is drawn like a building: a medallion at the centre, its quarters repeated in the corners, a field of scrolling palmettes between and a border of three bands around it. These nine carry a central medallion, a scrolling palmette field and a banded border through full medallion layout, all-over palmette repeat and framed border styling. Ask for a different medallion shape and the same three carpet-layout 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 medallion shape?
Yes — the direction field takes any medallion or field motif you name, and the same three carpet-layout styles render it.
What's the difference between the three styles?
The central-medallion style shows the full building-like layout with corner quarters; the scrolling-palmette style is the all-over field with the medallion cropped away; the banded-border style leans into the three-band frame.
Is this respectful of real Persian carpet craft?
The set draws on the traditional knotted-carpet medallion-and-field layout as a style reference for a generated print, not a reproduction of any specific weaver's or workshop's carpet, and not a claim to be hand-knotted wool or 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.
