South American

An ivory ground carries an allover lattice of coral-pink lozenge vines interlaced with slate-blue palmettes and small gold and rust blossoms, arranged in a repeating diamond trellis across the field. The main border is a wide band of rust-red ground filled with staggered floral sprays and rosettes, framed by a narrower blue guard stripe and an outer ivory stripe patterned with small blossoms, all edged in dark blue-grey. Corner and central medallion forms are absent; instead the pattern reads as a continuous, evenly distributed floral network from edge to edge.

An open ivory field is scattered with sprays of feathered saw-toothed leaves and a central diamond medallion rendered in coral, apricot and soft green, with matching cornerpieces anchoring each corner. The wide apricot-pink border carries an angular vine of stylized blossoms and small diamond medallions, framed by narrow coral and ivory guard stripes with meandering vine motifs. Loose warp fringe is visible at both ends of the piece.

An open salmon-pink field is scattered with an all-over arrangement of angular palmettes, serrated leaves, and rosettes in rust, mustard, sage green, and ivory, loosely aligned along a diagonal lattice. The ivory main border carries a continuous run of large palmettes and split-leaf forms in the same rust and gold palette, framed by narrow guard stripes of gold and slate blue with small stylized florets.

An ivory ground centers on an elongated palmette medallion in soft apricot and slate blue, flanked by angular branching vines and scattered leaf and blossom forms rendered in the same muted orange and grey-blue palette. The wide border repeats a rhythm of lobed palmettes and lancet leaves against a matching apricot ground, framed by a narrower guard stripe of small rosettes on the outer ivory band. The corners and central axis show slight asymmetries in the drawing of the vinework, and the surface has faded unevenly toward the lower right.

The field is a soft terracotta ground overlaid with an interlocking lattice of angular vinework, giving rise to a chain of palmettes and lobed medallions rendered in ivory and pale straw tones. Sawtooth leaves and small blossoms fill the interstices, while the wide ivory border carries a running series of rosettes framed by narrow guard stripes in matching terracotta and cream. The palette throughout stays within a narrow range of rust, ivory, and faded gold, with the corners of the border resolving the central lattice pattern cleanly at each turn.

The rust-colored field carries an overall lattice of interlocking diamond medallions in muted teal, sage green, and gold, each enclosing small palmettes and rosettes connected by curling serrated leaves. A slate-blue border of alternating floral sprays and rosette clusters frames the composition, edged by a narrow ivory guard stripe patterned with small blossoms. The corners resolve the diamond lattice cleanly against the border, and a soft coral tone dominates the ground throughout.

Flemish Portico Tapestry

A pictorial field depicting a wooded landscape with a standing figure in a blue and white draped garment holding a spear, accompanied by a reclining hound at her feet, while a winged putto bearing a basket of flowers approaches from the right. Above, a seated figure draped in rose and cream fabric emerges from a cloud bank against a large golden disc, holding what appears to be a scepter or arrow. Dense foliage in blue-green and gold tones fills the upper field and frames the lower edge, bordered by a narrow plain dark band.

The field depicts a formal garden vista framed by a trellised pergola of pale ochre columns and arches entwined with dark green foliage, opening onto a fountain, terraced parterres, balustrades and a distant palace facade rendered in muted blues and creams. Large urns overflowing with white and blue flowers stand at the base of each column, echoed by clipped hedges and topiary along the lower edge. A narrow blue-ground border with a slender gold line encloses the composition on all sides.

A pictorial field on a black ground depicts a nocturnal scene: an owl-like creature perched on a piano keyboard beneath a glowing tree trunk, framed by silvery, star-flecked foliage and drifting moths. To the left a cluster of patterned rooftop structures rises amid the leaves, while a small night-sky panel with a crescent moon and stars appears set into the pale tree bark at upper right. The palette is dominated by charcoal black, muted blue-grays, cream, and tan, with no border separating field from edge.
