Oushak

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.

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.

Bessarabian Kilim

The field, a soft sage-taupe, carries an all-over lattice of floral sprays in repeating rows, each cluster combining a ring-form yellow blossom with a paler serrated flower and small ivory buds joined by curling leaves. The wide border echoes the palette with a meandering vine of small rosettes and dotted trefoils in muted brown, gold, and cream against the same greenish ground, framed by plain guard stripes. Colors throughout stay within a subdued range of olive-gray, mustard yellow, ivory, and soft brown, with no other inscriptions or marks visible.

Bessarabian

A quatrefoil medallion in soft rose and cream, filled with sprigs of pink and ivory blossoms, sits at the center of a pale celadon field patterned with radiating lobed compartments bordered in dark navy scrollwork. An ivory band with scattered floral sprays separates the field from an outer border of stylized navy and cream palmette-like points set against a muted olive ground, with narrow guard stripes of coral red framing the composition. The corners of the ivory band contain dense navy interlace medallions echoing the central design.

Bessarabian

A pale lavender field is scattered with small floral sprays of ivory blossoms, pink rosettes, and mustard-yellow leaves, arranged loosely around a central medallion formed by a delicate square wreath of matching flowers. The wide sage-green border repeats the same rose, tulip, and floral vocabulary in ochre, cream, and dusty pink, with a narrow plain band separating it from the field.

Bessarabian

An open ivory field is scattered with small floral bouquets arranged in staggered rows, with a single larger vase of roses set at the center as the focal motif. Each spray combines pink, blue, and soft brown blossoms with green stems, rendered against the plain ground. The dark brown border carries a running chain of stylized flower heads and trailing ribbon-like vines in muted gold, rose, and cream tones.

Bessarabian

An allover lattice of scrolling pink-outlined medallions, each enclosing an urn-like floral spray in dusty rose, cream, and sage on grounds that alternate between deep brown and olive green. The interlocking cusped forms are separated by a small-scale cream and pink checkered vine, giving the field a dense, continuous rhythm with no distinct border retained in this fragment. Color throughout leans toward faded rose, warm brown, and muted green, with occasional touches of pale yellow in the flowerheads.

Oushak

An ivory ground carries a repeating vertical arrangement of scrolling floral sprays, palmettes, and small vine-filled cartouches in muted gold, sage green, dusty pink, and soft gray tones. A wide mustard-gold border encloses the field, itself framed by a narrower guard stripe of scrolling foliate motifs echoing the interior palette. The overall design is symmetrical, with the botanical elements diminishing gently in scale toward the field's edges.
