DH Oxford Blue (Heritage)

Until relatively recently in human history, blue was the most elusive colour to manufacture in any form. Originally created from crushing rare and precious Lapiz Lazuli stones to a fine powder pigment called Ultramarine, it was only available to the richest and most powerful people in society. Luckily for the Georgians, in 1704 Prussian Blue was created, a far more affordable alternative to Ultramarine and a first step towards this decadent rich blue being available to everyone. It still creates a feeling of grandeur and confidence in any room and is perfect for bedrooms, living rooms, studies and cloakrooms.
