The abrashed field is covered in an all-over geometric botanical design composed of stylized florals, serrated leaves, palmettes, rectilinear vinery, buds, blooms and rosettes. Angular corner spandrels echo the designs within the field. A Classic turtle vine scroll border with samovar-shaped palmettes flanked with a double inner and outer carnation meander guard band elegantly frame the composition, pulling together colors from throughout into a unified, harmonious design.
