Antique Irish Donegal Rug, Origin: Persia, Circa: 1900 – This positively stunning antique Donegal rug from Ireland, the design of which is attributed to the widely admired Gavin Morton, boasts an absolutely delightful composition, the profound beauty of which is underscored by gorgeous, vibrant colors throughout. An impeccably designed and executed series of borders beautifully frame the composition, with green vine scrolls and large, boisterous floral elements standing out brightly against a pale ivory. All of this delightfully surrounds a field of a deep and serene blue, the vastness and negative space of which suggests a river. This impression is enhanced by the floral and vine scroll elements that dance throughout the field of this antique rug, appearing almost as bits of nature fallen from the trees into a running body of water. The oranges, greens, and pale reds of the large, geometric floral and vine scroll details contrast beautifully against the blue of the field, giving the entire rug the impression of a third dimension. A unique and remarkable antique rug, this Donegal from Ireland is a one of a kind composition.
