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.

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.
A deep brown ground, shading almost purple in places, opens onto a central ivory medallion enclosing a bouquet of pink, blue, and cream flowers tied with a ribboned garland. Each corner holds a woven basket overflowing with similar blossoms and fruit, echoing the medallion's palette. The border is a running floral garland interrupted by a spindled, baluster-like band in gold and cream, framing the field on all sides.
A large ivory medallion with a scalloped, cloud-like edge dominates the center, enclosing a lattice of interlaced star-and-polygon strapwork in olive green filled with clustered pink, white, and pale yellow floral sprays. This medallion sits within a deep red field carved with olive-toned acanthus scrolls and small rosettes on a brown ground, framed by a floral garland border of blossoms in pink, cream, and blue, and an outer olive band patterned with dark scrolling vinework.
A central medallion of clustered pink and red roses sits within an ivory ground encircled by a wreath of olive leaves, radiating out into a scrolling acanthus field in tones of camel and brown accented with small floral bouquets. The corners carry large sprays of leafy foliage and blossoms echoing the border, which is framed by a narrow trellis-and-flower guard band and a broader striped brown edge.
An ivory field scattered with small sprigs of pink and yellow blossoms and green leaves is enclosed by a shaped medallion outline in soft yellow. The surrounding border carries a garland of pink and yellow roses tied with pale blue ribbon bows, with corner baskets of flowers marking each turn, all set against a taupe ground.
A pale ivory ground opens wide and largely bare, scattered lightly with small butterflies and sprigs of blue flowers drifting toward the center. The border is formed by a continuous mauve-pink ribbon that runs along all four sides, gathering into looped bows at the top and bottom edges from which trail sprays of green leaves and tiny bell-shaped blue and lavender blossoms. Corner motifs of ribbon and foliage curve inward, framing the open field without ever closing it in.
A brown ground opens into a central ivory medallion holding a bouquet of pink and mauve roses with sprays of green foliage, the medallion itself ringed by a wreath of olive and citron leaf clusters. The same foliate wreath motif recurs as quarter-medallions in the four corners, each anchored by a large blossom in white, pink, and rust tones, and the whole composition is framed by a plain, near-black border. The palette throughout is muted - olive greens, ochres, and dusty pinks set against the dark chocolate field.
The field is arranged as a grid of twelve interlocking medallions, each a rosette of pink and gold radiating segments framed by a garland of small white and pale blossoms on a black ground. Between the medallions, scattered floral sprigs in pink, blue, and green fill the ivory field, while a slender striped border in gold and blue-gray encloses the composition.
