Irish Arts & Crafts Vintage Floral Light Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet Donnemara By C.F.A. Voysey BB8202 13'7" × 15'3" $140,000

An antique Irish Arts and Crafts rug, “Donnemara” by C.F.A. Voysey, this hand-knotted wool carpet reflects early 20th-century European textile design at its most disciplined and lyrical. Its composition is structured with architectural clarity, yet the organic forms retain a hand-drawn softness that gives the piece its character and movement.

The light beige field is filled with a repeating botanical trellis, where stylized blossoms, curling leaves, and mirrored foliate motifs interlock in a measured rhythm. Soft sage, pale blue, warm tan, and muted violet shape the design, while small rust-orange accents punctuate the surface with just enough contrast to enliven the palette without disturbing its calm tone.

A deep plum border frames the interior with larger leaf forms and a clear sense of hierarchy, lending the rug a defined edge and a quietly graphic presence. The result is an Arts and Crafts carpet that feels refined, nature-based, and adaptable, bringing historic design, subtle color, and decorative balance to both classic and contemporary interiors.

Part of the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this vintage rug reflects the gallery's dedication to preserving exceptional craftsmanship and distinctive design traditions. Its character, patina, and artistry make it a sophisticated addition to thoughtfully curated interiors.
