A shaped panel, cut with scalloped shoulders to a chair-back silhouette, worked on a cream ground with a central spray of carnations and a large rose in shades of crimson, dusty pink, mustard, and burgundy, set among green and sage foliage on curling brown stems. Flanking vertical borders carry a twisted ribbon motif in dark and pale green over a brown ground line, interspersed with small sprigs of red and yellow buds.

An irregularly shaped panel with a fawn ground, its outline following the natural contour of an unfinished edge rather than a straight border. A single rose bush rises from a rocky mound at the base, its dark branches spreading across the surface in a fan of red and pink blossoms, buds, and green and mustard-toned leaves. The absence of a framing border allows the flowering shrub to fill the field completely, reaching to the irregular perimeter on all sides.

A rounded, roughly oval panel worked on a rose-pink ground, its unbound edges left raw and unfinished. A garland of stylized roses and leafy sprigs in olive green, ochre, and cream encircles the field, framing a central bouquet of similar blossoms tied with a ribbon bow at its base. The palette throughout is limited to soft greens and pale yellows set against the dominant pink ground.

The field is built from horizontal bands alternating deep brown and undyed ivory, over which a continuous lattice of pale diamonds is laid in a lighter outline color with touches of coral red. Within the lattice, small diamond medallions, cross forms, and scattered geometric devices appear in ivory, taupe, and coral, with a larger stepped diamond set at the center. There is no separate border; the banded ground runs to the edges, and the diamond trellis shifts slightly in scale and spacing as it moves down the field.

An open, biscuit-toned ground carries a single sweeping bouquet of full-blown roses in shades of rose-pink, wine, and cream, gathered with sage-green foliage and slender gold sprigs at the center. Each corner repeats a smaller rose spray tied with a stem of gold leaves, echoing the central grouping in miniature. A narrow, solid dark green band frames the composition on all sides, leaving the field otherwise unadorned.

An irregular, shield-shaped piece cut with scalloped, notched edges rather than a straight rectangle, the olive-green ground centered on a stacked lozenge medallion in deep blue, coral-orange, crimson and ivory. Concentric borders of stepped meander (in a rust-brown running key pattern) and a serrated orange-and-blue band frame the field, with small angular blossom sprays and hooked leaf forms scattered across the green ground and corners.

An irregularly shaped ground, its edges left raw and unfinished, is filled almost fully by a single branching tree with a dark, sinuous trunk. Layered leaves in dusty green outlined with deeper teal cover the branches, interspersed with small clusters of coral and pink berries or buds, all set against a plain buff-colored field with no framing border.
