A color missing from most wardrobes because people rarely dare to reach for it, and one that seldom works in shiny silk because it turns too yellow there. That does not happen with Ancient Madder. The matte, powdery finish keeps the shade earthy, almost like fired clay.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe blue medallions provide balance. Up close, they are finely drawn, with a ring of dots and a pale center; from three meters away, they form a quiet pattern. That is precisely what separates a good pattern from a conspicuous one: it works from a distance and rewards a second look. Safest with navy blue and medium gray, most beautiful with brown and olive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% silk, Ancient Madder from Macclesfield\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7-fold, entirely handmade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUntipped, hand-rolled edges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedallions and rosettes in blue and white on ochre\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e148 × 9 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Italy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe dry, chalky feel is what defines Madder, and the one thing about this tie that cannot be photographed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Christian Weilert","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53370440909067,"sku":null,"price":199.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/3720\/5672\/files\/3-1.jpg?v=1790688203"},{"product_id":"medaglia-di-rame-ancient-madder-royalblau","title":"Tie Medaglia di Rame | Ancient Madder | Royal Blue","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe blue in front of the Grotta Azzurra on Capri, so intense that everything else pales beside it: this tie has exactly that blue.
