An open ivory field carries a large lobed medallion filled with dense floral scrollwork rendered in rust, soft blue, and dark brown against a lighter interior ground. Scalloped pendants extend from the medallion's top and bottom points, and scattered palmettes and vinework float freely across the surrounding field. The border repeats a fine floral vine in matching muted tones, framed by narrow guard stripes.
A corner of the field shows an allover pattern of palmettes and scrolling vines rendered in muted rust, cream, and soft green tones against a warm grey ground. The main border is a wide golden-yellow band filled with alternating palmette medallions and cloudband forms in rust and ivory, flanked by narrower guard stripes of small rosettes on a pale blue-grey ground. Fringed selvage is visible along the top edge, and the corner turn shows the border design mitering with careful symmetry.
The field is filled with an all-over lattice of interlocking diamond medallions, each enclosing small rosettes and star forms, rendered in muted slate-blue and taupe against a soft beige ground. A narrow guard stripe of scrolling vine leads to a wider border of repeating palmette and rosette forms in the same restrained gray-blue palette, framed by plain outer bands. The design maintains a steady, even repeat across the entire surface with no central medallion or field break.
The field is organized into a garden-plot lattice of rectangular compartments, each holding a different tree, shrub, or flowering plant rendered in fine detail against an ivory ground, with narrow cypress-lined bands dividing the panels. Colors run through soft ivory, sand, and rust, with accents of slate blue and dark green scattered across the compartments. A wide rust-toned border filled with scrolling floral vine encloses the field, flanked by several narrower guard stripes in blue and cream carrying repeating blossom and leaf forms.
Garden Design
The field is organized into a diamond lattice of compartments, each panel filled with a distinct floral or cypress motif rendered in rust, ivory, indigo, and slate blue. Alternating cells alone carry a single blossom or vase form, while others hold denser scrolling vinework, giving the grid a checkerboard rhythm of pattern against pattern. The wide border repeats a rosette-and-vine chain between narrower guard stripes, framed at the very edge by a slim band of dark blue-green.
Garden Design
The field is divided into a grid of compartments, each panel enclosing a single flowering plant or tree rendered in miniature against alternating grounds of ivory, rust, mustard, and slate blue. A narrow channel interrupts the grid at the center, running the length of the field, while the surrounding border repeats a chain of rosettes and palmettes on a warm gold ground, framed by slender guard stripes. Small variations in scale and color among the panels give the overall symmetry a handmade irregularity.
The rust-colored field carries an all-over lattice of interlaced palmettes, rosettes, and cloudband-like leaf forms rendered in ivory, soft blue, and slate, each medallion set within a diamond compartment. A deep indigo main border encloses the field, filled with a continuous scrolling vine of palmettes and blossoms, flanked by narrower ivory and rust guard stripes carrying smaller floral repeats.

The ivory field carries an allover diaper lattice of small palmettes and rosettes rendered in rust, slate blue, and olive, arranged in tight diagonal rows across the entire ground. A narrow patterned guard band separates the field from the wide blue border, which is filled with alternating floral rosettes and curling leaf sprays in cream, rust, and dark brown, framed by slender minor stripes at each edge.
A steel-blue ground carries an all-over lattice of scrolling vines supporting large palmettes, serrated leaves, and rosettes in rust, ivory, sage green, and soft apricot. A slender rust guard stripe separates the field from the wide camel-colored border, itself patterned with alternating floral sprays and angular cloud-band or animal-like forms in muted blue, coral, and olive. The design is dense and continuous, with no cartouche or medallion, giving the field an open, unbroken repeat.
