Today, ancient fretwork patterns including those from the Chinese, Moorish and Greek cultures can be seen throughout our homes on decor items such as rugs, casegoods, tile, wallpaper and textiles. Here are a few examples:

Goodness your talking my language. Especially adore the leontine linens (of course!), the built-ins (looking to do something similar myself) and the Barbara Barry chair.
Great post!
I'm more of a filigree girl myself but these are great photos!
Not yet, but I will. Love the new wallpapers and the rug above. Beautifully put together!
These are lovely! And, I don't think I have any of it in my home, but I love that green end table. I took a look at some of the other things from Shine Home, and they're great... unfortunately, it seems they only sell to the trade? And thus super expensive?
love the stool! i've been looking for something like this for my living room---lovely! :)
also thanks for stopping my blog.
I bought one side table with lots of beautiful carvings but oh how they collect dust! any tips on cleaning them?
I'm inviting you to join my first worldwide giveaway. Please do enter. Thanks.
Great post. I really like the wool and silk rug and the siam trellis wallpaper!!
I have a set of 4 canvases I intended to paint in a fretwork pattern for our bedroom to coordinate with our new white West Elm pintuck duvet. I love that there are so many examples here! Thanks!
I really love that first chair - beautiful.
I don't have any fretwork in my home, but my husband really loves this design. This is an interesting post, and I really like the background information you give!
You have such a great eye for details like these. No, I don't have any fretwork... by accident more than design as I quite like how it looks. Too many great patterns out there and too few rooms I guess!
Beautiful! I loved every picture!! I need more of that in my life.
wow, all items are so wonderful...there are so many items that I love. The tile is simply gorgeous!
Hi cristin
That fretwork bedding is absolutely gorgeous! What a statement piece that would make in any bedroom. Can I also say, what a beautiful blog you have and a big thankyou for the comments you left on mine.
