Needlepoint

A black ground carries a regular grid of twelve floral bouquets, each a cluster of pink and burgundy roses with cream blossoms and sprays of green leaves. The wide border on tan ground repeats scrolling acanthus leaves and rosettes, interrupted at the corners and mid-sides by lobed cartouches enclosing smaller floral sprays, all framed by a narrow patterned guard stripe.

Bessarabian

A deep brown ground carries two large floral wreaths stacked vertically, each ring composed of dense roses, dahlias, and sprays in orange, pink, cream, and pale blue, encircling a smaller cluster of blossoms at its center. The same dark ground reappears as the field corners and border, the latter filled with a continuous garland of full-blown roses, small blue florets, and leafy stems in matching colors. The composition is symmetrical top to bottom, with the wreaths and corner sprays mirrored precisely across the field.
