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.
