Antique Irish Arts And Crafts Rug. 13 ft x 16 ft 2 in
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 Irish Donegal Arts & Crafts Runner Rug, circa 1900 6' x 14'11Located in New York, NYAntique Irish Donegal Arts & Crafts Runner rug circa 1900, 6' x 14'11. Sort of an Irish Oushak with a slate blue ground displaying a repeat of semi-geometric buds and flowers along with sawtooth medallions. Unlike other Donegal's, there is nothing Celtic about this unique carpet. The palette is a variant on blue and white, but not oriental. The narrow orders just barely constrain the dynamic field which pushes underneath in all directions. The spacious layout makes the carpet seem larger than it is. The Arts and Crafts movement originated in England in the second half of the 19th century as a reaction against mass-produced machine-made goods. William Morris, the founder of Morris and Co., designed rugs, tapestries, wallpaper, textiles, and entire interiors. The large, luxurious antique European carpets produced under his direction are luxurious and stunning in their integration of European and Oriental styles. Another designer in the Morris circle was C.F. Voisey who worked on carpets as well as textiles and wallpapers. The style spread to Donegal, Ireland, where Alexander Morton established a workshop around 1900 to weave carpets, often incorporating indigenous Celtic motives.
