What Are Classic Blue Rugs?
Classic rugs are masterpieces of centuries-old hand-knotting—crafted from premium natural materials like new wool and silk, with intricate patterns and a vibrant color palette.
- Oriental Rugs: Handmade carpets from Persia, Afghanistan, India, Turkey, China, Pakistan, and the Caucasus—blue as a ground color, accent, or elegant border exemplifies refined Oriental and nomadic artistry.

- Village Rugs: Bold shades of blue—such as indigo, midnight blue, and petrol—give these rustic, durable rugs an authentic and down-to-earth character, bringing freshness, depth, and a touch of wilderness into your home.
- Nomadic Rugs: Striking blue tones like sapphire, turquoise, and midnight blue highlight the original and adventurous spirit of these resilient rugs—adding vibrancy, depth, and a sense of individuality to any room.
