A rust-red field centers on a lobed ivory medallion filled with dense floral scrollwork and a small dark central rosette, with matching pendants above and below and navy cornerpieces in each corner. The surrounding ground is scattered with small palmettes and vinery in rust, cream, and blue tones, framed by a wide border of scrolling floral vine on a rust ground flanked by narrower guard stripes of rosettes and meander patterns in cream, navy, and rust.

Tabriz

A rust-red field is covered edge to edge with a dense, symmetrical arrangement of palmettes, rosettes, and scrolling vine work rendered in cream, gold, and soft blue, radiating from a vertical central axis with pendant medallions at top and bottom. The wide border repeats the same palmette-and-vine vocabulary on a matching rust ground, framed by narrower guard stripes in cream and muted olive. Color throughout has settled into warm, slightly faded tones, with the blue accents standing out sparingly against the golds.

The field is divided into a garden-plot design of four quadrants intersected by narrow channels meeting at a small round medallion in the center. Each quadrant pairs a star-form medallion in rust, cream, or ivory against a panel of flowering, branching trees rendered in soft coral, pink, sage, and tan grounds. The wide border on a deep indigo ground carries a repeating boteh-like leaf motif in muted rust, cream, and slate blue, flanked by narrower guard stripes of small floral trellis work.

A soft ivory ground carries a large lobed medallion of terracotta-red scrollwork enclosing a lighter cartouche filled with small floral sprays and a central rosette of pale blue and rust. Trailing vine and blossom forms fill the open field around the medallion, with delicate palmette pendants extending toward the top and bottom. The wide border is built of successive narrow floral and geometric guard stripes in muted rose, tan and gray, framing the composition symmetrically on all sides.

An ivory field is covered in a dense, all-over lattice of small palmette and floral sprigs rendered in soft gold, tan, and pale blue-lavender tones. A dark brown-ground border framed by narrow guard stripes carries a repeating floral and leaf motif that echoes the field's palette in gold and cream.

A pale ivory field is overlaid with a fine diaper of small dark rosettes and diagonal trellis lines, centered on a stepped lozenge medallion in rust and soft blue enclosing dense floral scrollwork and a many-petaled central rosette. Rust-colored spandrel-like pendants extend the medallion toward the field's edges, and the whole is framed by a pale blue-green border of continuous vine and palmette scroll flanked by narrow guard stripes in matching tones.

A large scalloped medallion in ivory rises from a soft golden-tan field scattered with small floral sprays, its interior divided into horizontal bands of muted rose and sage tones filled with fine vinework. Cusped indigo-blue corner spandrels, densely patterned with trailing blossoms, contrast with the paler ground, and the composition is enclosed by a wide border of scrolling floral vine flanked by narrower guard stripes in matching ivory and blue.

The field is organized in a garden-panel layout, sixteen rectangular compartments arranged in four rows of four, each containing a tree, vase of flowers, or small animal figures rendered in ivory, gold, and rust against pale ochre grounds. A radiating medallion of interlocking blue and cream lattice-work sits at the center, breaking across the grid of panels. The wide border carries an undulating vine of palmettes and serrated leaves in sage green and tan on a dark indigo ground, framed by narrower guard stripes of small floral repeats.

An ivory ground carries an interlaced lattice of curling vinework forming four large medallion compartments, each centered on a rosette and scattered with smaller palmettes and floral sprays in muted gold, sage, and soft gray tones. A central quartered medallion anchors the composition where the four compartments meet, flanked by vase-like floral forms along the vertical axis. The wide border repeats a dense flowering vine on a warm tan field, framed by several narrower guard stripes of small-scale floral repeats.

An overall lattice of interlocking medallions in rust and pale blue fills the field, each compartment centered on a small rosette against a warm terracotta ground. The wide border presents alternating panels of stylized floral sprays and cypress-like forms in gold, cream, and rust, framed by narrow blue-ground guard stripes carrying a repeating vine. The corners resolve the pattern cleanly, and the palette throughout stays within rust, gold, cream, and deep blue.
