Eckmann designed carpets and tapestries for such firms as H. Engelhard of Mannheim and the Smyrna-Teppich-Fabrik, Berlin. His most famous tapestry, Five Swans (1896–97), of which approximately 100 examples were woven, was produced at the Scherrebek tapestry workshops in Schleswig-Holstein (now Skærbaek, Denmark).
