Antique Irish Carpet, Origin: United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, Circa: Turn of the 20th Century– Here is a compelling and exciting antique carpet – an antique Irish rug, woven in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland in the years around the turn of the twentieth century. Characterized by an especially comely composition, this antique Irish carpet is an excellent example of one of the more popular styles of antique European rugs and carpets. The Celtic influence is present in the compositional elements of this antique European rug from Ireland.  The calligraphic character of the bold line work found around the central medallion of the rug is set against an ivory background, drawing more attention towards the center of the rug.  The line work in the flowery medallion of this European rug causes rhythm in the composition, allowing the central composition to move and breathe.  Details such as multiple borders, stylized thistles, and delicate flowers make this rug an intriguing piece that always seems to be moving and changing. A beautiful carpet, this antique Irish rug is an excellent example.
