Oushak

An ivory field carries an overall lattice of angular vinescroll and palmette forms rendered in faded blue-gray and soft rust, with a diamond-shaped medallion structure emerging faintly at the center through interlocking arabesques. The main border, in a warm terracotta tone, repeats a serrated leaf and blossom vine, flanked by narrower guard stripes of the same muted palette. Coloring throughout is soft and abraded, giving the whole a pale, sun-washed appearance.

Oushak

The field is left entirely open in a pale ivory-green, uninterrupted except for a small red woven mark in the lower right corner. A wide salmon-coral border carries a repeating pattern of palmettes and rosettes in cream, soft yellow, and pink, flanked by narrower guard stripes of small stylized blossoms and geometric fillers on an ivory ground. Corner devices in the border echo the larger palmette forms, giving the frame a symmetrical, continuous rhythm around the open center.

An oval medallion, rendered in mustard-gold with pale ivory detailing, anchors a soft apricot field scattered with palmettes, star-form blossoms, and slender curling leaves in ivory, gold, and muted blue-gray. A serrated blue-green rosette bursts near the lower field edge, echoing smaller star motifs, while the wide gold border carries a repeating diamond-and-palmette lattice framed by narrower guard stripes of stylized florals.

An ivory ground carries a scrolling lattice of large palmettes and serrated leaf forms rendered in bright orange against soft tan and pale gold shading. The border repeats small angular medallions in the same orange tone on an ivory band, framed by narrow guard stripes, with the whole composition finished by exposed warp fringe at both ends.

Sivas

The ivory field is covered edge to edge with rows of small, curling boteh forms set on a diagonal grid, each rendered in dark brown and rust outline with touches of blue and cream detailing. A narrow slate-blue border with a repeating floral vine frames the field, flanked by slim guard stripes in tan and rust tones. The overall palette stays muted and even, with the boteh pattern maintaining strict, uninterrupted regularity across the entire surface.

An ivory field carries an interlocking lattice of angular palmettes and serrated leaves in coral, salmon, and sage green, centering on a stacked medallion of rosettes and star forms. The wide salmon-pink border alternates elongated palmette sprays with diamond cartouches enclosing small floral rosettes, framed by narrow guard stripes in ivory and green. Colors throughout are soft and faded, with the coral tones deepening slightly toward the corners.

Oushak

The field is a soft slate blue-gray, scattered with large angular palmettes, cruciform blossoms, and paired shield-like cartouches rendered in rust, ochre, cream, and sage green. A serrated leaf lattice connects the motifs diagonally across the ground, while the border presents a rust-red band filled with rosettes flanked by narrower ivory and olive guard stripes carrying small floral sprigs.

Bessarabian

Signed: AP MOSWA

A deep black ground carries an all-over lattice of small floral bouquets, each rendered with sprays of yellow, pink, and rust-toned blossoms set against sage-green leaves that fan outward in pointed clusters. The border is a plain, narrow band of muted olive green, offering a quiet frame with no additional ornament. The repetition of the bouquets is regular and dense, with only slight variation in the tilt and coloring of individual flower heads across the rows.

Turkish Kilim

The dark, shadowy ground is arranged in staggered rows of oval floral medallions, each rendered in beige with a rosette of coral, plum, and cream petals surrounded by a garland of small flowers in pink, ivory, and pale blue. The narrow border repeats a continuous chain of small round florettes in orange and cream against a beige band, framed by a thin lavender-toned line at the top. Loose warp fringe remains at both ends.
