About the Item
Antique Donegal Runner by C.F.A. Voysey (Fragment)
Size: 3'0" × 13'0" (91 × 396 cm)
Color: Blue, Green, Purple, Red
This rare and exceptional antique Donegal runner, attributed to the celebrated English Arts & Crafts designer C.F.A. Voysey, dates to the 1880s and exemplifies the movement’s dedication to craftsmanship, natural inspiration, and aesthetic refinement. Woven in Ireland by the Donegal Carpet Manufacturing Company, the runner showcases Voysey’s signature style—stylized flora with whimsical charm and a sense of romanticism.
The field features a symmetrical, repeating composition of fantastical trees with lush blue, gray, and crimson foliage set against a bold emerald green background. Small flowering plants accompany each tree motif, reinforcing the organic, garden-like theme that Voysey often favored. The palette of rich greens punctuated by soft blues, grays, and pops of red creates an atmosphere of serene vibrancy and visual rhythm.
Constructed from high-quality hand-knotted wool, the texture of the pile is soft and durable, while the lush chromatic contrasts reflect the natural dyes typical of the period. Though a fragment, this runner remains in very good condition and retains the essence of the original composition, making it a prized decorative and collectible textile.
Perfect for a corridor or gallery wall, this Donegal runner offers timeless beauty and historical significance, standing as a testament to one of the most influential design movements of the 19th century.
A remarkable antique rug, from Doris Leslie Blau Collection, features a timeless elegance. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
