An ivory ground field is dominated by a large stepped medallion in navy and rust, its interior filled with a dense floral palmette pattern in coral, blue, and cream. Four navy cornices with matching palmette ornament anchor the field corners, while scattered small blossoms and angular vinery fill the open ground around the medallion. The rust-colored main border carries a repeating chain of ivory rosette cartouches, flanked by narrower guard stripes with small floral devices in blue, cream, and coral.

The field is organized into a grid of forty-eight compartments, each on an ivory ground and enclosing a separate floral bouquet or acanthus-scroll spray rendered in rose, gold, sage green, cornflower blue, and deep red. No two compartments repeat exactly, though motifs of curling red or green acanthus leaves recur alongside bunched roses and small sprigs. The border is a continuous meandering floral vine in the same palette, with bold red acanthus scrolls anchoring each corner.

The field is organized as a grid of thirty compartments, each a square set on point with an eight-pointed star medallion enclosing a rosette, alternating in blue, red, green, and brown-black grounds against a warm ivory star. Slim connecting bands of small florets and hooked leaf motifs separate the compartments, with tiny octagonal medallions marking each intersection. A plain dark brown-black border frames the composition on all sides with no additional guard stripes.

A pale sage ground is scattered with a regular grid of small five-lobed floral sprigs in deeper olive tones, interspersed with single round dots between each motif. The border is framed by a narrow ivory band and a solid olive stripe, then given over to a wide continuous garland of golden yellow acanthus-like leaves and blossoms turning at each corner. The overall palette stays within soft greens and warm yellows, with no other inscriptions or irregularities visible.

An ivory ground carries a symmetrical vine-and-blossom lattice worked in slate blue, coral, olive green and soft yellow, populated with paired birds and small quadrupeds tucked among the scrolling stems. Palmette-like feathered motifs anchor the field at top and bottom, while a narrow red zigzag stripe frames an outer border of blossoming vines on a deep green ground punctuated by pairs of animals at intervals. The palette stays consistently muted and pastel throughout, with no sharp contrasts breaking the overall softness.

The field is organized as a grid of squares in alternating tan and pale ivory, each framed by a narrow banded border and separated by lattice lines of small leaf and dot motifs on a sage green ground. Within roughly every other square sits a golden starburst rosette, while the remaining compartments are left plain, producing a checkerboard rhythm across the whole field. A wider sage green border with a continuous meander of leaves and blossoms in cream and ochre frames the entire composition.

An overall lattice of ochre and rose bands crosses the ivory field, forming a diamond trellis enclosing alternating orange lozenges with small blue crosses and paired sprays of pink, lavender, and green foliate blossoms. A broad wine-red border carries a continuous scrolling vine of gold, pink, and green palmettes and leaves, with a narrower banded guard stripe of similar scrollwork on rose ground running just inside it. Each corner of the outer border is marked by a small rectangular reserve set at an angle, containing a compact floral medallion distinct from the surrounding scroll.

A brown-gray ground carries pale-blue rocaille scrollwork enclosing bouquets of pink roses, small orange blossoms, and green foliage arranged in a mirrored vertical composition. The border repeats the same scroll-and-rose vocabulary against a lighter tan ground, framed by narrow striped guard bands in blue, cream, and brown. The overall palette is muted, dominated by dusty blue, ivory, and rose tones against the dark field.

An ivory ground is covered edge to edge in a dense repeating floral lattice, with large red carnations, blush pink peonies, and mustard-gold blossoms linked by curling olive stems and serrated leaves in sage and forest green. The pattern repeats in horizontal bands with alternating motifs, framed by a plain narrow olive-green border. The composition reads as continuous all-over surface decoration with no central medallion or open field.

The field is organized as a lattice of large diamonds, each filled with a small-scale checkerboard of alternating cream and dark navy squares interrupted by pinwheel-like triangular motifs at their centers. The lattice bands themselves carry a finer diaper pattern in the same two tones, and a plain narrow guide line separates the field from a wide border of tight crosshatched diamonds in cream and navy. The palette throughout is limited to cream and near-black navy, giving the whole a graphic, tightly repeating geometry.
