The Thistle textile by Tiffany & Wheeler features a rectangular piece of fabric with a tan background and white floral design. The fabric has a rough, frayed edge on the left side and a slightly frayed edge along the bottom. The white design consists of repeating patterns of curved lines and shapes forming flowers and leaves. The overall pattern is symmetrical, with identical designs mirrored across the center of the fabric. The fabric appears to be made of a natural fiber such as linen or cotton.
