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.

Laver Kerman

The field is filled with an overall lattice of interlocking diamond compartments, each enclosing small palmettes and floral sprays rendered in muted rust, soft blue, ivory and pale pink against a warm brown ground. A pale outline frames the field, beyond which runs a wide border of scrolling floral vine in dusty pink and cream, flanked by narrower guard stripes of repeating rosettes and lattice work in slate blue and cream. The overall palette is soft and worn, with colors fading gently toward the edges.

Bakshaish

The ivory field is covered in an overall repeat of small palmette and vine sprays arranged in diagonal rows, with stepped rust-red and midnight-blue triangular panels marking the top and bottom edges as if framing a niche. A wide cream border carries a meandering vine set with rosettes and lozenge-shaped medallions in rust, blue, and mustard, echoed by narrower guard stripes of small repeating florets. Colors throughout are soft rust red, cream, camel, and touches of teal blue and ochre.

Silk Heriz

An ivory field centers on a tall cypress and blossoming tree motif rising from a coral and navy palmette base, flanked by pale blue foliate sprays and scattered rosettes. The main border alternates rectangular cartouches bearing inscriptions in a flowing script with diamond medallions filled with angular red, navy, and blue floral forms, framed by narrower guard stripes of small repeating blossoms. The overall palette combines soft ivory, camel, coral red, and slate blue against the muted ground.
