Agra

A long runner field organized into two vertical columns of lozenge medallions, each diamond formed by a slate-green lattice and enclosing a smaller floral roundel in navy, ivory, and rust. The interstices are filled with dense sprays of small palmettes and leaves in muted gold and pink against a soft ivory ground. A narrow border of scrolling vine and rosettes in faded rose and green frames the field on all sides.

Indo-Persian

An open mauve field carries an all-over scrolling arrangement of leafy vines, palmettes, and small blossoms rendered in gold, ivory, and soft green tones, with scattered dark accents defining the branching stems. The wide charcoal-ground border repeats a continuous floral vine of rosettes and serrated leaves in the same gold and cream palette, framed by narrower guard stripes of small-scale floral trellis patterns. The field shows some abrasion and tonal variation toward the lower portion where the ground color lightens unevenly.

Amritsar

An ivory field carries an allover lattice of lobed palmettes and small floral sprays rendered in soft gold, taupe, and pale rose, the design repeating in a diagonal trellis to the edges. A wide border in warm camel ground bears an undulating vine with rosettes and leaf forms, flanked by narrower guard stripes in ivory and blush pink. The corners resolve the trellis pattern cleanly, and the palette throughout stays muted, with the pink notes providing the only real departure from the golds and creams.

Agra

The field, a soft slate-blue ground, carries an all-over repeat of interlocking herati-like palmettes and curling leaf forms in rust, ivory, and muted green, arranged in tight diagonal rows. A wide ivory border of rosette medallions alternating with small blossoms frames the field, flanked by narrower guard stripes in rust and cream patterned with small geometric devices. The corners resolve the border design cleanly, and the palette throughout stays within a consistent range of rust red, sage green, and faded gold against the pale ground.

Agra

An ivory field is covered edge to edge with a small repeating boteh motif, each one rendered in soft coral, sage green, and slate blue, arranged in tidy offset rows. The corners are cut by a diagonal spandrel treatment in golden tan that echoes the border tone. A wide camel-colored border carries a scrolling floral vine, framed by several narrow guard stripes in cream, blue, and rose.

Indian

An ivory field opens onto an elongated medallion built of scrolling olive-green tendrils and palmettes that repeat down the vertical axis, interspersed with small sprays of coral, salmon, and sage blossoms. Cusped corner spandrels in matching green scrollwork frame the field, while a broad blush-pink border carries an undulating floral vine, flanked by narrower ivory guard stripes patterned with small stepped diamonds. The overall palette stays soft and muted, with color concentrated in the botanical details against the pale ground.

Agra

An ivory field is organized in two columns of interlocking split-palmette medallions in pale blue-green, joined by dark, almost black vinework and small red and navy blossoms. Diamond-shaped floral cartouches sit at the medallion centers, and the whole pattern repeats with near-mirror symmetry down the length of the field. The border stack is wide and layered: a dark chocolate band of small florets, a cream stripe with sprigged flowers, and an outer ivory guard, framed by narrow red and dark accent stripes.

Agra

A deep red field is covered edge to edge with a dense repeat of small palmettes and floral sprays in ivory, blue, and green, interrupted only by scalloped ivory spandrels at each corner containing curling leaf forms. The wide ivory border carries a running vine of serrated leaves and blossoms in red and rust, framed by narrower guard stripes in matching tones. The overall symmetry is broken slightly at the lower left corner, where the spandrel motif sits a touch off-register from its counterparts.

Indian

A rust-red field carries a symmetrical arrangement of medallions in navy, deep red, mustard, and pale blue, with a central pole medallion flanked by paired diamond-form medallions above and below, all set among dense scrolling vinework and small palmettes. The main border, dark blue, repeats a rhythmic sequence of angular blossoms and leaf forms in cream, rust, and gold, framed by narrower guard stripes of similar palette. Colors throughout are warm and varied, with the reddish ground offset by cool blues and scattered ivory highlights.
