A central ivory medallion with a radiating rosette and encircling floral garland anchors the deep olive-green field, which is otherwise scattered with small stylized rosette sprigs. Each corner holds a matching bouquet of pink, white, and blue blossoms tied with looping ribbon, set against the same ground. The wide border is built from a continuous scrolling acanthus vine in gold and rust tones on black, framed by narrower striped bands in yellow, red, and green.
A near-black ground centers on a large scalloped medallion in dusty mauve outlined with cream scrollwork, enclosing a radiating starburst rosette in ivory and gold at its heart. Scattered sprigs of small russet flowers fill the field around the medallion, while the border repeats a lattice of cream diamonds against mauve, framed by narrow black and gold bands with fleur-de-lis corner ornaments.
An ivory field opens around a scalloped medallion enclosing a bouquet of pink and burgundy roses tied with acanthus scrolls in soft tan and green. The wide border repeats this scrollwork in salmon and pale blue, punctuated by four oval cartouches at the corners each holding a smaller floral spray, and framed by a narrow striped guard band.
An ivory ground is overlaid with a lattice of looping garlands tied with pale blue ribbon, forming lozenge compartments that radiate from a central oval medallion filled with a loose bouquet of pink and white blossoms. The corners hold musical trophies of crossed horns, quivers, and ribboned wreaths in muted gold, rose, and blue, and a narrow ribbon-and-wreath border frames the field on all sides.
Round
A central rosette of layered acanthus leaves surrounds a small blue flower, radiating outward into eight wedge-shaped compartments alternating in pale ivory and soft blue-grey, each enclosing a small floral medallion. A broad golden-yellow band encircles this field, bordered by an interlocking ring motif in blue and cream, framed by a narrow guard of stylized leaf forms in muted grey-green.

An ivory ground is organized by a diagonal lattice of pale blue banding studded with small berry-like clusters, forming a grid of interlocking medallions. Each medallion holds a radiating rosette of soft red, blue-grey and cream petals set within a scalloped, leafy surround in muted gold and sage, while smaller four-pointed floral forms fill the intersections of the trellis. A narrow floral guard stripe in matching blue and gold frames the composition within a plain blue outer border.
The field alternates deep red and near-black cartouches, each framed by curling acanthus scrolls and filled with clustered bouquets of ivory and cream roses, blue delphinium, and small pink blossoms. Sprays of green and ochre foliage weave between the panels, uniting the repeat across the surface, with no separate border visible within the crop. The palette combines brick red, charcoal, cream, sage green, and touches of powder blue and gold.
An ivory ground carries a central lobed medallion outlined in soft blue and gold scrolling cartouches, filled with a bouquet of pink, rose, and blue flowers rendered in a naturalistic manner. Sprays of foliage and floral clusters radiate into the corners, echoing the palette of muted greens, dusty pinks, and gold against the pale field. A pale blue border frames the composition, banded by a narrow twisted rope-like guard stripe in gold and cream.
A deep chocolate-brown ground centers an ivory medallion bursting with pink, rose, and cream blossoms bound by golden acanthus scrollwork. Four ivory corner cartouches echo the same floral bouquets against gilt scrolling foliage, all framed by a sage-green outer border edged in rust and a wide band of golden scrollwork interlaced with pink and white flowers.
Napolean III
A pale celadon field is dominated by a large central medallion of gilt scrollwork enclosing a bouquet of pink and cream roses, flanked above and below by smaller floral cartouches set within cusped acanthus frames. Sprays of pink and lavender blossoms with green foliage fill the corners of the open ground, while the wide border repeats the scroll-and-rose theme against alternating panels of deep burgundy and soft gold, framed by four rose bouquets set in oval medallions at the corners. A slim dark green outer band closes the composition.
