All over design on a terra cotta field against light blue border with a touch of blue-beige and burgundy.

The light rust field with overall design of bold angular arabesques together with large polychrome palmettes and small angular floral motifs, in light blue border palmettes and meandering floral vine between ivory palmette vine stripes, outer reciprocal trefoil and plain stripes.

An ivory field carries an allover lattice of scrolling vinework and palmettes rendered in rust, steel blue, dusty pink, and soft gold, with small rosettes filling the interstices in a dense, repeating pattern. A slender pale blue guard stripe separates the field from the wide indigo border, whose ground bears a continuous run of angular blossoms and leaf forms in matching rust, blue, and cream tones. Both ends finish in a long, undyed warp fringe.

The coral-salmon field is filled with an all-over lattice of scrolling vines, palmettes, and serrated leaves rendered in slate blue, tan, and ivory, arranged in mirrored quadrants around a central vertical axis. A narrow ivory guard stripe separates the field from the wide indigo border, which carries a repeating chain of palmettes and small floral sprays; a slimmer outer band continues the same blue ground with a delicate rosette vine.

An ivory field carries a dense, repeating lattice of small palmettes and rosettes in rust, slate blue, and sage, with dark navy spandrels folding into each corner and filled with denser floral sprays. The wide main border on a deep brown ground shows a run of alternating palmettes and rosettes linked by curling vine, framed by narrower guard stripes of small-scale blossom-and-diamond patterning in pink, cream, and blue.

The madder field having an all over design of palmettes and angular tendrils, framed by an ivory border of palmettes, rosettes, and leaves.

The rust-red field carries an allover lattice of scrolling vinery bearing large palmettes in ivory, pale blue, and soft gold, interspersed with serrated leaves and smaller rosettes. A dark brown-plum border encloses the field, filled with a repeating floral vine, framed in turn by narrower ivory guard stripes patterned with small blossoms and trailing stems. The corners resolve the central medallion arrangement symmetrically, with a partial red medallion-like burst visible near the upper field.

An overall lattice of diamond-shaped compartments fills the rust-colored field, each cell enclosing small serrated leaf forms in ivory, slate blue, and ochre. A narrow ivory guard stripe separates the field from the wide indigo main border, which carries a repeating rosette-and-vine pattern in cream, gold, and green, flanked by slimmer floral and reciprocal stripes in matching tones.

An ivory field carries a lattice of scrolling vine work supporting large palmettes and cusped medallions in rust, plum, gold and slate blue, arranged in a symmetrical vertical progression down the length of the piece. The main border, a deep indigo ground, repeats a rhythm of angular blossoms and serrated leaves in the same rust and gold palette, framed by narrow guard stripes of small-scale floral trellis.
