In my previous post I mentioned that I find the colour combination of blue and red to be irresistible, and here are two further examples of that scheme working together, in entirely different contexts.
In the first picture, the C19th Chinese reverse mirror painting has a significantly distracting gilded wood carving, and in the second the Serapi carpet has a variation in hues, to empahsise the durability of the combination. This durability is enhanced by the fact that both pieces come from very different cultures.
