Early 20th Century Donegal Arts & Crafts Flat-Weave Designed by George Walton

About the Item

Designed by George Walton (1867-1933) for Alexander Morton & Co. Measures: 11'6" x 15' - 350 x 457 cm Flat-woven Donegal carpet with a border of stylized meandering foliage contained in continuous green squares. The border frames a very open allover pattern of floral sprigs on a soft pink ground. The simple pale rose pink and green colorway and certain design elements to the border are suggestive of Walton’s preference for a simplified and unfussy aesthetic which increased the impact of his furniture and induced a ‘feeling of rest’. Literature: Moon, Karen, ‘George Walton Designer and Architect’, pub. Oxford 1993, pages 48, 108, and plate 57.

  • Arts & Crafts Donegal Carpet
    Located in London, GB
    Antique Donegal Carpets, woven in the town of Killybegs, County Donegal, from the 1890s onwards, represent some of the most unique and highly sought-after European weavings - originally, a Western interpretation of earlier Turkish Oushak carpets, incorporating a wide array of design elements borrowed from both the Arts and Crafts movement and traditional Celtic art. These pieces are also known for their remarkably high quality, thanks to the centuries-old tradition of wool-working belonging to the people of Donegal - early examples can be found in places as prestigious as Dublin Castle, the University of Notre Dame, and the US Whitehouse. This piece, dating to the early 20th Century, features a wonderfully fresh colour palette, and an elegant composition inspired by Arts and Crafts textiles...
