About the Item
Beautiful square size antique Donegal Irish rug, country of origin: Ireland, circa 1920. Size: 10 ft 2 in x 10 ft 4 in (3.1 m x 3.15 m)
Delicate blue and a garden of color greet you with this elegant antique Irish Donegal rug. The popularity of Persian and Oriental carpets around the turn of the 20th century meant a resurgence in the popularity of these designs in many areas of the world. Many areas that were not formerly known as carpet producing cities began producing carpets that were inspired by traditional Persian designs.
Donegal, Ireland is one of these areas that began producing carpets in the early 1900’s. This antique Celtic Irish carpet was produced in the 1920’s. The distinctively Persian design also shows an Art Deco influence. Donegal carpets were created specifically to complement Arts and Crafts style architecture that was popular from the 1900’s to the 1920’s. These homes and offices featured hardwoods and classic lines. Some of them showed and Art Deco influence with scroll work plaster work and stained glass windows. Donegal carpets have a Victorian feel with their floral designs that meander in all directions, filling the antique Donegal Irish carpet with color.
This demonstrates a Persian influence in the overall layout, but it has a distinctive art character that places it in the Arts and Crafts or Art Deco movement. The shapes are reduced to their simplest form, with only subtle shading to give them depth. The visual impact of the carpet comes from the gorgeous blue background and the contrasting flowers in warm colors. The treatment of the flowers and leaves gives them an almost abstract, or modern feel.
The colors of the carpet are bright and vibrant, almost feeling as if you are looking through a canopy of flowers at a bright, blue summer sky. This breathtaking antique carpet is divided into a field and border that carry the floral motif throughout the entirety of the design. This gives it unity throughout, but the smaller florals in the border make it look as it the central design is surrounded by a delicate haze. This a true collector’s piece that would work beautifully in an Art Deco, Arts and Crafts or contemporary home or office. It is a beautiful and versatile carpet.

Oversized Antique Irish Donegal Rug, Autumn in Ireland
By William Morris (English)
Located in Dallas, TX
73478 Antique Irish Donegal Rug, 09'10 x 18'07. Evoking the essence of autumn in Ireland, where expansive boglands transition from verdant greens to the resplendent hues of rust and russet, Irish Donegal rugs draw inspiration from the breathtaking beauty of the Irish landscape. The appellation "Bloody Foreland," or "Cnoc Fola" (The Hill of Blood), finds its origins in the evening sun, casting a rich red hue upon the coastal rocks. In autumn, the hillside becomes a fiery canvas, adorned with a dense layer of ferns ablaze in russet-red-brown. Despite the absence of a historical foundation for the "bloody" name, local folklore weaves a tale of the notorious warlord "Balor of the Evil Eye," purportedly vanquished by his grandson Lugh Lamh Fhada on the slopes of Cnoc Fola. Legend holds that the hillside earned its name from the imagined blood flowing from Balor's malevolent gaze staining the land.
Infused with the cultural richness and natural allure of Donegal, this oversized antique Irish Donegal rug, meticulously crafted with high-quality wool, emerges as a mesmerizing embodiment of woven artistry. Drawing inspiration from nature, the Donegal rug boasts opulent earth-tone colors that converge to create an air of stately decadence. Against a backdrop of red ochre hues, an intricate pattern unfolds, intertwining botanical forms and geometric shapes. The design is framed by a border adorned with floral leaf lattice, enclosed by floral meander and sawtooth guard borders. With its relaxed refinement and an earthy color palette drawn from the natural world, this palatial-sized antique Donegal rug exudes a wealth of character.
Rendered in variegated shades of rosewood, redwood, clay pot, brick red, terra cotta, mauve, baked clay, tan, ecru, chamois, camel, taupe, brown, espresso, coffee, sand, and beige with other accent colors.
