The rust-colored field carries an overall lattice of curling ivory vine stems connecting palmettes and small lozenge medallions in blue, cream, ochre, and dark brown. Scattered among the lattice are angular cloud-band and leaf forms in slate blue and mustard, each cell centered on a diamond or rosette. The wide ivory border repeats the same scrolling vine and palmette motif in blue, rust, and brown, framed by a series of narrow guard stripes with small floral repeats.

An ivory field is overlaid with a lattice of curling stems that frame alternating rosettes in rust, soft blue, and green, each diamond compartment centered on a small palmette. The wide border repeats large serrated leaf and blossom clusters in warm rust and taupe against a grey-brown ground, with a narrow floral guard stripe separating it from the field. Colors throughout are muted, the palette built from ivory, camel, rust, sage, and pale blue.
An ivory ground carries an allover palmette lattice, with large serrated leaf blossoms in rust and cream anchored along a central vine, punctuated by small navy leaf and blossom sprays scattered across the field. The rust-colored main border repeats a run of palmettes and cloud-band leaves in ivory and navy, framed by narrow guard stripes of small rosettes on a pale ground. The design maintains near mirror symmetry top to bottom and side to side, broken slightly by minor variations in the placement of the small navy accents.

A large ivory lozenge medallion, outlined in soft green, sits over a rust-red field covered in a small-scale repeat of herati-type palmettes and leaf forms rendered in rose, slate blue, and olive. The spandrels surrounding the medallion continue the same dense floral lattice in deeper terracotta tones, while the wide border presents a rhythmic sequence of rosettes and palmettes framed by narrow guard stripes of blue and gold meander.
The field is a pale blue ground covered with a small repeating fan or shell lattice pattern, scattered over with loosely spaced floral sprays in pink, coral, olive, and lavender. A soft brown border with a scalloped inner edge carries a continuous trailing floral vine in matching pink and cream tones, framed by a slender rose-colored guard stripe.

The field is a warm gold ground scattered evenly with small sprigs of pink and cream blossoms and pale green leaves, giving an all-over speckled effect. It is enclosed by notched spandrel corners and a broad border of ribbon and trailing ivy, the pink ribbon twisting through green foliage against a soft brown ground. A slim guard stripe of small linked ovals in cream and rust frames the outer edge.
