Vintage Irish Arts & Crafts Floral Slate Gray Hand-Knotted Wool Runner By C.F.A. Voysey BB8270 3'0" × 13'4" $14,000

This antique Irish Arts & Crafts runner, attributed to C.F.A. Voysey, was woven in the Donegal tradition and captures the movement’s balance of natural imagery and disciplined structure. Its long, borderless format gives the repeating design an architectural clarity, while the hand-knotted wool construction lends the surface a supple, tactile presence.

Across a saturated green field, stylized tree forms rise in steady vertical rhythm. Some are rendered in slate gray with small crimson highlights, while others open into blue floral canopies threaded with red accents. Slim trunks, paired blossom sprays, and the measured spacing between motifs create a calm but graphic botanical repeat that feels both whimsical and controlled.

The restrained palette of green, slate gray, steel blue, and touches of red keeps the composition fresh and versatile. Ideal for a hallway, gallery, or narrow circulation space, this Arts & Crafts wool runner brings pattern with restraint and the quiet refinement collectors associate with Voysey’s decorative language.

Part of the Doris Leslie Blau collection, this vintage piece reflects the gallery's unwavering dedication to quality, authenticity, and design heritage. Founded in 1965, Doris Leslie Blau remains one of the world's most trusted sources for exceptional rugs, from rare mid-century finds to contemporary masterworks.
