About the Item

Beautiful Large Antique Irish Arts And Crafts Donegal Rug, Country Of Origin : Ireland, Circa Date: 1920 – Donegal Carpets was founded in 1898 by Alexander Morton. He was a textile manufacturer in Killybegs, near Ulster, Ireland. These rugs were created using Turkish knots and drew inspiration from popular Turkish and Persian carpets. During the last quarter of the 19th century, Persian carpets were experiencing a Renaissance, and it seems that everyone wanted in on it. The popularity of Persian carpets inspired the designs of Donegal. They were found in Buckingham Palace, on Oceanliners that included the Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth, and in government offices in the UK and abroad. Persian carpets were a way to show off the newfound wealth of the industrial-age moguls. This breathtaking Donegal carpet draws inspiration from the Persian vase carpets and their intricate floral designs. The colors are brilliant and inspired by the beautiful court carpets of the Persian Empire in the 17th century. Now, designers are once again infusing our homes and offices with bold colors. They are breaking modern rules about what colors go together and coming up with bold new ideas.

Antique Voysey Arts & Crafts Rug in Green with Floral Patterns
Located in Long Island City, NY
Hand-knotted in wool circa 1900-1910, this 9x11 antique Arts & Crafts rug is believed to be a rare work from C.F.A. Voysey. On the Design: This particular Voysey rug is believed to originate in Ireland, given its similarities to Donegal rugs of this provenance. Its design further hosts the quintessential open field that connoisseurs often associate with this artist’s signature style—though open field designs are especially collectible in handmade rugs today. The colorway enjoys chartreuse and similar greens, with bright blues and pinks in its borders and floral patterns. Its particular use of botanicals and garlands around the field lead the eye naturally to the more subtle patterns in the center—almost akin to greenery around rippling water in a pond, like many paintings of the same movement in this era. Connoisseurs will admire this as a collectible as much as an elegant masterpiece of its period—exemplary of Voysey’s European rugs. Condition: This antique botanical rug...
