Oushak

An open field of soft terracotta orange runs uninterrupted from end to end, framed by a wide seafoam-green border scattered with rosette medallions in coral and cream. Flanking guard stripes carry a small-scale palmette and leaf vine in the same restrained palette, with a narrow zigzag band separating field from border. The corners resolve simply, without cartouches or added inscriptions, keeping the composition quiet and evenly balanced.

Oushak

An open, sage-toned field carries a central medallion of small coral rosettes flanking a slender vertical pole, echoed by scattered floral sprays drifting toward the corners. The wide ivory border is built from a chain of elongated cartouches and palmette forms, each accented with the same coral-red blossoms that punctuate the field. Overall the palette stays soft and muted, with the coral notes providing the only strong color against the pale ground and border.

The ivory field carries an allover lattice of scrolling palmette vines rendered in soft blue and taupe, with small rust-colored accents punctuating the diamond junctures. A steel-blue border encloses the field, filled with alternating rosette and cartouche medallions linked by scrolling stems, framed by narrow guard stripes in cream and dark outline. The pattern repeats symmetrically along the vertical axis, with the field pigment showing gentle variation from warm gold to pale ivory across its surface.

Oushak

An ivory field carries an allover lattice of palmettes and serrated leaves in rust, ochre, and soft blue-gray, radiating from a central rosette medallion that repeats faintly across the surface. The main border, a warm tan ground, is filled with alternating cartouche and rosette forms flanked by narrower guard stripes of small floral trellis in blue and cream. Color throughout stays within a muted range of apricot, slate blue, and undyed ivory, giving the pattern a soft, worn harmony.

Oushak

An ivory field carries a soft blue central medallion flanked by two pairs of gold and coral palmettes, framed by scrolling floral vinework rendered in muted salmon, apricot, and pale grey tones. The wide border repeats a rhythmic sequence of stylized blossoms, rosettes, and leaf forms against a faded rose ground, bounded by narrower guard stripes of small diamond and flower motifs. Coloration throughout is soft and abraded, giving the surface an overall pastel, sun-faded appearance.

Indian Dhurie

The field is a soft putty ground overlaid with a repeating chevron lattice in olive green, each zigzag row scattered with tiny diamonds in red, blue, yellow, and green. A narrow ivory band separates the field from the border, which repeats the chevron motif in a wider, multicolored stripe of green, yellow, red, blue, and cream before closing on an outer olive edge.

Karabagh Kilim

A dark charcoal ground carries an all-over lattice of bouquet-like floral clusters in ivory, salmon pink, and soft rose, arranged in staggered rows across the full field. The border is a salmon-pink band filled with a chain of small stepped diamonds in black and cream, framed by narrow guard stripes with a fine dart pattern. The bouquets are rendered with a slightly irregular repeat, no two clusters quite identical in shading or leaf placement.

European Flat Weave

A long narrow panel on a brick-red ground, filled with an all-over lattice of abstract, flame-like ivory and slate-blue forms interspersed with small round medallions containing rosette and star motifs in gold, cream, and deep blue. A narrow guard border in muted tones frames the field, running the full length on both sides, with the composition repeating in vertical registers rather than a single central design.

Sofreh Kilim

The field is composed of narrow horizontal bands filled with small repeating motifs—bowties, diamonds, zigzags, and rows of tiny animal figures—rendered in muted rust, olive, blue, and cream against a warm camel ground. A wide plain tan strip separates the patterned center from the border system, which stacks several narrow guard stripes of geometric latch-hooks and diamonds in blue, brown, and cream before a broader sky-blue band and an outer dark brown edge. The banded arrangement gives the piece a striped, almost sample-like structure rather than a single unified field design.

Moroccan Rag

The field is composed entirely of horizontal bands running the full length of the piece, with no separate border to interrupt the sequence of stripes. Colors shift irregularly from taupe, gray, and ivory into passages of coral red, lavender, teal, and deep brown, some bands solid and others streaked with mixed tones. The lower edge finishes in a loose fringe of undyed warp ends.
