The translation of natural motifs into carpet drawings is considered with special attention given to compositions depicting coniferous trees. Comparisons are made between works by outstanding authors who worked in this field in the late 19th and first half of the 20th century when hand weaving was an active field for self-expression and creativity. It is concluded that that imagery and symbolism prevailed in the images of trees.
