Indian Blue Floral Silk Tie

DESIGNER'S NOTES A Fox & Chave silk tie with a blue Indian floral design. This pattern showcases a Mughal-inspired floral ogival pattern, a design born from the 17th-century fusion of Persian Safavid geometry and Indian naturalism. The structure relies on a pointed lattice, often called a trellis, which frames central botanical buta motifs. These stylised flowers, likely poppies or carnations, are rendered in a classic palette of indigo blue and madder red. The serrated edges of the blue ribbons suggest the Saz leaf influence, common in Ottoman and Persian art. This specific aesthetic was highly influential during the 19th-century Arts and Crafts movement, as designers like William Morris sought to replicate the rhythmic balance and organic sophistication of these traditional Eastern block-printed silks. COLOURS STYLING A Fox & Chave silk tie looks best tied in a classic Windsor or half-Windsor knot and worn with a collar style of your choosing. Cutaway or spread collars offer the greatest opportunity to display the detail of your unique silk tie design.
