Servants, let there be spread before the house he never expected to see, where Justice leads him in, a crimson path..” Oriental carpets often show rugs , carpets laid on steps to a throne and on stages to signal a position where rulers and sacred figures are positioned. More recently the red carpet has been used to welcome American President on formal and ceremonial events in the last decades. Plush red carpets were used during the early 20th century to direct passengers as they boarded their luxury train travel. From this use the phrase “red carpet treatment” originated.
