Tabriz

An open ivory field surrounds a large lobed medallion in deep burgundy and navy, its interior filled with dense scrolling floral tracery around a central rosette pendant with pointed finials above and below. Scalloped burgundy cornice-shaped spandrels fill each corner, echoing the medallion's palette of rust, indigo, and cream. A wide floral vine border in matching tones frames the composition, flanked by several narrower guard stripes of repeating blossoms and rosettes.

Tabriz

The field, an amber-gold ground, holds an elongated central medallion in soft blue and ivory surrounded by dense scrolling vines, palmettes, and small flowerheads in blue, rust, and cream. Matching pendants extend from the medallion toward the top and bottom of the field, and all four corners carry quarter-medallion spandrels echoing its palette. The border is built in stacked bands - a wide ivory panel of lobed floral cartouches framed by narrower guard stripes of small blossoms in blue and brown.

Tabriz

The rust-toned field is covered edge to edge with a dense, repeating lattice of small boteh-like sprigs rendered in cream, gold, and pale blue, creating an all-over textured pattern rather than a central medallion. A wide ivory border frames the field, filled with scrolling floral vines and palmette clusters in gold, rust, and dark navy, with cartouche-like reserves marking the corners and midpoints of each side. Several narrow guard stripes in rust and cream separate the main border from the field, giving the whole composition a layered, symmetrical structure.

Tabriz

The field carries an allover repeat of small palmettes and rosettes connected by fine trailing vines, worked in muted rose, gold, and cream against a ground that shifts from olive to soft blue across its surface. A wide ivory border of alternating floral sprays and geometric cartouches frames the field, flanked by narrower guard stripes in coral and green, with a matching botanical band along the top and bottom edges.

Borlou

A pale ivory field carries an open, symmetrical arrangement of scrolling palmettes, leafy vinework, and angular blossoms rendered in soft coral, muted gold, and slate blue. The composition anchors on a central floral medallion with a matching pendant below, flanked by smaller sprays that thin out toward the corners. A coral reciprocal guard frames a wide gold border filled with small stylized floral rosettes, repeated in even rhythm along all four sides.

Smyrna

An open golden field, largely unadorned, carries a single elongated medallion formed of two joined lozenges in soft lavender-blue, its outline barely distinguished from the ground. The corners are marked by faint pale spandrels echoing the medallion's palette. Multiple slender concentric guard stripes in muted red and pale blue frame the field, giving way to an outer border of stylized floral sprays alternating in ochre and blue-gray against a straw ground.

Borlou

A pale ivory field carries a faded central medallion in soft coral-red, with quartered corner spandrels and vertical rows of small palmettes and rosettes running its length. The wide border repeats a scrolling floral vine in the same muted coral against a warm sand ground, framed by narrow guard stripes. The overall palette has settled into gentle tones of cream, straw, and pink, giving the surface a soft, almost monochrome appearance.

Oushak

A soft coral-pink field carries a chain of angular medallions rendered in muted sage, ochre, and ivory, each linked point to point along the vertical axis and surrounded by scattered palmette and leaf forms. The wide ivory border holds a meandering vinework of rosettes and serrated leaves in rust, gold, and grey-green, framed by narrower stripes at the outer edges. The overall palette stays soft and worn, with the pink ground lightening toward the corners where the pile is thinnest.

Oushak

The field glows a warm rust-orange, overlaid with a diagonal lattice of pale ivory, sage, and mustard vinework that forms diamond compartments enclosing serrated palmettes and small rosettes. A central small medallion of ivory and gold sits at the field's midpoint, while the broad green border carries a repeating chain of large rosettes in ivory, coral, and yellow, framed by narrower guard stripes of stylized floral and cruciform devices.
