The Fragmented Past of Blue Carpets — Culture Traditions and Groundbreaking Discoveries
From royal antiquity and the artistic and intellectual renaissance to social movements—-so many secrets, stories and creative disruptions come under the shades of blue. Persian blue rugs or the classic blue oriental rug were perhaps the most iconic specimens.
While the Egyptians had a deep love for blue. They would source it from the previous sites of lapis and turquoise. This was a very bold and expensive thing to do for the love of colour. The Egyptian blue was thus born. The Celtics sourced blue textile dye from the Mediterranean flowering plant, woad. The exotic sources made blue the expensive pigment in the Middle Ages, and thus, blue carpets were a symbol of nobility. During the Renaissance period, the Ultramarine colour was also used. Even a delicate light blue oriental rug was seen as a sign of prestige.
The discovery of Indigo completely changed the scenario for blue rugs. Originating in India, Bangladesh, and China, Indian rugs became popular the world over. Persian and Oriental rugs have several specimens of this colour, often paired with deep warm tones like those found in a red and blue wool rug. You can find these in our collection of vintage blue rugs for the living room.
The Bleu de France or French Blue had a prominent significance in the White House’s blue rooms. From the Savonnerie during Kennedy’s administration to the exemplary French Aubusson rug featured during Obama’s administration.
