An ivory field is dominated by a large central medallion composed of nested ovals, its innermost cartouche filled with a radiating rosette and flanked by smaller oval reserves holding delicate floral sprays. Slender urns and garlands anchor the medallion's top and bottom, while pale blue ribbon-like scrolls and gold acanthus tendrils trace the ground around it, all rendered in soft cream, sage green, and muted gold. The border repeats a scrolling acanthus vine on a sage ground, framed by narrow guard stripes of anthemion and rosette motifs in matching tones.
A deep red ground centers on an elongated cartouche of pale ivory and gold enclosing a crowned armorial-style medallion flanked by scrolling ribbons. Loose bouquets of pink, cream, and white flowers with green foliage scatter across the field and repeat in swagged garlands within the wide border, which is framed by a narrow key-fret band in tan and cream. The corners echo the central medallion with matching floral scrollwork, giving the composition a mirrored, symmetrical balance top to bottom.
A pale peach field is organized into a central medallion and flanking cartouches by scrolling cream and gilt-toned strapwork, with small floral bouquets scattered across the ivory panels. The dusty rose-pink border is framed by acanthus scrolls and corner medallions filled with sprays of pink, green, and pale blue blossoms. The overall palette stays soft throughout, built from cream, muted rose, sage, and touches of powder blue.
The field is arranged in a regular grid of alternating cream and pale blue medallions, each enclosing a small bouquet of pink and yellow roses with green foliage, set against a golden ground scattered with small blossoms. A wide border of dense, overlapping cabbage roses and leaves in rose, gold, and sage runs continuously around the perimeter, framed by a narrow dark outer line.
An almost open, pale ivory field is defined by a shaped cartouche outline with Greek-key corner brackets, framed by a wide border of scrolling acanthus leaves, urn finials and lattice bands in soft gold, lavender and sage against a deep brick-red ground. A narrow guard stripe of small stepped motifs runs just inside the outer border. The overall format is a long, narrow gallery-runner shape with symmetrical top and bottom terminals.
A bright chartreuse ground is scattered evenly with rows of taupe-brown fleur-de-lis, each outlined in a darker line for definition. A narrow guard stripe frames the field, echoed by a wider border repeating the same fleur-de-lis motif at a larger scale against the same green ground. The corners of the inner frame show a subtle interlaced flourish where the border lines meet.
The field is a warm brown ground overlaid with a tone-on-tone scrolling acanthus lattice, across which loose bouquets of roses, daisies, and small blue and yellow blossoms are scattered in an irregular, naturalistic arrangement. The bouquets combine cream, blush pink, coral, and gold blooms with soft olive foliage, arranged without a strict repeat so that clusters of varying density appear along the sides and center. There is no distinct border, the floral sprays running to the edges of the brown scrollwork field, framed simply by a narrow dark outline.
