Bessarabian

A large lobed medallion in warm brown and cream anchors the field, its dense scrolling foliage encircling a smaller rose-pink lozenge at the center. The surrounding ground shifts from mauve-pink to deeper plum, scattered with sprays of cream, coral, and red blossoms, while the wide border repeats the same floral bouquets against a dark brown ground. The overall palette favors soft rose, ivory, and chocolate brown, with small accents of powder blue among the flowers.

Eastern European Kilim

A deep black ground centers a single bouquet of large coral-pink roses and pale green foliage, gathered loosely at a slender stem base. This central panel is framed by a narrow pink and cream border line, then surrounded by a wide black field carrying a continuous garland of the same roses, tulips, and leaves rendered in coral, cream, and sage. The floral drawing is bold and cross-stitch-like in its geometry, with each bloom built from angular, faceted petals rather than curving lines.

Bessarabian

A pale ivory ground centers a classical urn spilling an abundant bouquet of roses, tulips, and mixed blossoms rendered in dusty rose, lavender, blue, and sage green. The surrounding border repeats a garland of roses and foliage interlaced with a striped ribbon motif, framing the field on all sides in a continuous floral swag. The corners resolve the ribbon and rose pattern with slight variations in scale and placement.

Bessarabian

A rich brown field is covered overall with a scrolling floral lattice, blossoms in ivory, powder blue, aubergine and touches of apricot arranged around a central medallion of layered leaf forms. The wide ivory border carries a running vine of stylized flowers and serrated leaf motifs in the same palette, framed by narrow plain guard stripes. The composition is dense and continuous, with the field pattern reading almost as a single unbroken tapestry from top to bottom.

Bessarabian

The field is divided into two large medallion compartments, each centered on a stippled pale ground with a loose bouquet of pink and cream roses, flanked by pointed panels containing dense floral sprays and dark serrated leaf forms in black-brown. Elongated cartouches with meander motifs and coral pink lozenges separate the compartments, all set against an ivory field. A wide border of continuous pink and gold rose garlands on a cream ground frames the composition, echoed by a narrow rope-twist guard stripe at the outer edge.

AUBUSSON

An allover lattice pattern of large rosette bouquets rendered in ivory and cream, each cradled by dark, near-black scrolling acanthus leaves that alternate across a deep red ground. Diagonal rows of these floral medallions repeat with only slight variation, the leaves curling into tight volutes at their tips, while touches of sage green, dusty rose, and soft gold fill out the petals and foliage. A narrow plain band frames the composition, left undecorated in contrast to the dense repeat within.

Bessarabian

A dark brown ground carries an asymmetric arrangement of large-scale roses, peonies, hibiscus and ivy leaves rendered in deep red, pink, cream and gold, interspersed with curling acanthus-like scrolls in tan and ivory. A narrow rose-pink guard band and a scalloped cream-and-brown wave border frame the field, the corners left unresolved so the floral clusters run to the edge unevenly.

Bessarabian

The brown ground is arranged in alternating horizontal rows of two vase types: one squat and yellow-footed holding a spray of pink and coral blossoms with gray leaves, the other tall-handled and pale, sprouting a fan of feathery gray and white plumes tipped in pink. A narrow ivory zigzag band frames the field on all sides, with no separate corner or guard stripes.

Bessarabian

A golden-yellow ground carries repeating rows of small floral sprays, alternating rust-brown blossoms and ivory blooms, each set on slender stems with sage-green leaves scattered between. The wide taupe border is framed by a meandering vine of pale celadon rings interlaced with a rose-toned trellis, punctuated by small diamond-shaped florets. The overall palette stays soft and muted, with the pattern arranged in even, orderly registers across the field.

Bessarabian

The field is organized into a diagonal lattice of shaped cartouches alternating between deep brown ground filled with pale scrolling foliage and ivory ground medallions holding small clustered flowers in gold, rose, and soft green. A scrolling acanthus border in olive and straw tones frames the field, edged by a slender floral guard stripe. The overall palette stays within browns, ivories, and muted golds, with only touches of dusty pink for accent.
