Story Behind the Art: The latter part of the 19th century witnessed the birth of the Irish rug industry, a transformative period marked by the enterprising endeavors of Morton & Company, which spearheaded rug production in the charming locale of Donegal, Ireland. As the hands of time moved into the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Donegal rugs became synonymous with artistic innovation. Defined by intricate motifs, these rugs boasted a distinctly 'Irish' character, harmoniously weaving together inspirations from Oriental and Persian rug craftsmanship with the captivating tales embedded in Celtic artistic traditions.
