Navy & Blue Persian Rugs

Blue is the aristocrat of Persian dyes. Indigo was historically the most valuable color in the dye house, fermented in vats tended like sourdough and passed between generations, and wool must be dipped, aired and dipped again, each cycle deepening the shade, to reach true midnight navy. That labor is why blue fields signaled quality in the old trade, and why they still do. Every navy and blue Persian rug on this page is hand-knotted and the only one of its kind anywhere.

No weaving city speaks blue more fluently than Nain: Persian Nain rugs spend the whole indigo range at once, midnight arabesques over sky-and-ivory grounds, which is why designers call them the easiest fine rugs in the world to place. Tabriz rugs use navy with more drama, as the deep ground that makes a central medallion glow like a jewel on velvet.

Blue earns its popularity by cooperating: it reads traditional under antiques and coastal under linen slipcovers. It pairs most naturally with our beige and ivory rugs in adjoining rooms, or with grey and charcoal rugs for a cooler, more contemporary whole. Torn between a midnight navy and a lighter French blue?
