I am not sure if these borders have a particular name. I would call them �geometric � as they are comprised of repeated shapes.

I hope that helps!

Hi Rebecca

There are no fixed names for borders.

Firefox �s suggestion is good as a generic name.

Cheers

How are these borders called in English ?

In French it is "FRISE", the equivalent of FRIEZE in English.

Roberta, Maryse is right according to google images.They are friezes.

But as I am not familiar with art concepts, I would just call them borders (agreeing with firefox that they dont have a particular name), at least outside the art classroom, for most of us.

If you need to be more specific, you can describe them.

Row one is a flower border.

Row 2 I don �t know the name but it remnds me of a design on a Roman tunic.

Row 3 is a bell border.

Row 4 is a flower border.

Row 5 is a pinwheel border.

Row 6 looks like a daffodill or tulip border.

Row 7 is a alternating squares and dimonds border.

Row 8 is a diamond in a square border.

Row 9 loosl like flagsor pennants in squares.border

Row 10 looks like a Native American clothing pattern border.
