This handmade rug from India features a Donegal design in gray with green undertones, moss, black, teal, blue, peach, cranberry, gold, and multicolor. The design pays tribute to the rich tradition of Irish rug making, drawing inspiration from rugs produced in Donegal during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. With its highly decorative pattern of palmettes, leaves, and vines influenced by Eastern carpet tradition, it resembles the style of William Morris' Art & Crafts rugs. The field is adorned with a repetitive botanical pattern and a bold multi band border, creating a sophisticated look. The soothing color palette makes it a versatile choice that can complement various home décor styles. Offering a soft texture and timeless design, this rug adds an element of visual beauty and sophistication to any living space.
Story Behind the Art: The Irish rug industry took its inaugural steps in the late 1800s, with Morton & Company setting the stage for rug production in the verdant landscapes of Donegal, Ireland. Progressing into the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Donegal rugs emerged as artistic marvels, each telling a unique story through a design language that echoed with an unmistakably 'Irish' charm. This language seamlessly blended motifs reminiscent of Oriental and Persian rugs with the enduring artistic threads of Celtic heritage.
