Give your floor a story to tell. This LoomBloom slate and gold Donegal rug is a traditional Arts & Crafts Oriental area rug, made in wool by hand tufting, with a playful design inspired by Irish rugs of the same era. The slate backdrop is dotted with whimsical trees: orange limbs, gold foliage and red buds. Turquoise evergreens and a few small black birds fill the gaps. Then comes a narrow red line, a roomy gold border blooming with orange flowers and black floral clusters, and a finishing edge of scrolls in gray and black. The soft wool pile keeps each branch and bloom sharp and easy to see. Wool is resilient and naturally stain resistant, so this handmade rug is a friendly pick when kids and pets keep life busy. Its mix of cool slate and warm gold is easy to style, so it fits nicely in a bedroom, home office, entryway, dining room or living room. Add it for instant character and a fun, graphic touch of tradition.

Story Behind the Art: The story of Irish rugs starts in the late 1800s, when Morton & Company set up rug production in Donegal, Ireland. Donegal rugs from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries reinterpreted motifs from Oriental and Persian rugs and from Celtic art in an unmistakably Irish way, while also taking cues from Arts & Crafts and Art Nouveau. Their sweeping designs and one-of-a-kind style make Donegal rugs a versatile fit for many different decor styles.
