Polonaise Technique

The ivory field is organized in vertical columns of interlocking cusped medallions and elongated palmette forms rendered in olive, brown, and gold, with sprays of blue and coral florets scattered throughout. A wide sage-green border carries a continuous scrolling vine of stylized flowers and leaves, framed by narrow guard stripes in cream and tan with a small repeating floral motif. The overall palette stays soft and muted, dominated by ivory, gold, and green with restrained accents of red and blue.

Pile Technique, Polonaise Technique

A golden-yellow field carries a symmetrical arrangement of palmettes, lanceolate leaves, and scrolling vinework rendered in pale blue, ivory, and soft brown, with a central medallion of stacked palmette forms echoed at top and bottom. The main border repeats a chain of stylized diamond-shaped palmettes in tan and olive against a darker ground, flanked by narrow guard stripes with small serrated devices in cream and gold.

Polonaise Technique

An olive-brown field carries an overall lattice of scrolling stems that link palmettes and rosettes rendered in cream, pale blue, and ochre. A soft ivory band frames the field before giving way to a wider brown border filled with the same undulating floral scrollwork, all enclosed by narrow guard stripes in tan and cream.

A pale grey-blue field is organized by a lattice of fine ivory lines that link palmette-like cartouches in salmon and rust, alternating with serrated leaf forms and small rosettes. Notched shield motifs and star medallions punctuate the intersections, giving the interior a scattered, all-over rhythm rather than a single central focus. The wide border repeats a cream ground carrying a meandering floral vine in coral, olive, and gold, framed by narrower guard stripes of stylized rosettes.

The sage-green field carries a large-scale lattice of palmettes and serrated leaf forms in coral red, saffron yellow and ivory, arranged in a mirrored, symmetrical composition around a central diamond medallion. A wide green border echoes the palette with rosettes and angular vinework, framed by narrow guard stripes of small stylized blossoms, and the four corners of the outer border are anchored by bold red cartouche-like devices.
