Vintage Irish Arts & Crafts Floral Forest Green – Hand-Knotted Wool Rug BB8802 12'0" × 14'0" $43,000

This antique Irish Donegal Arts and Crafts rug, hand-knotted in wool, reflects the early-20th-century weaving tradition of Ireland with a restrained, highly considered decorative sensibility.

A deep forest green field creates a calm expanse, while the perimeter carries the design: a narrow botanical frame in dusty pink, soft beige, and touches of terracotta. Stylized blossoms, scrolling vines, and geometric stems repeat along all four sides, with mirrored corner treatment that gives the composition an architectural rhythm. The open center heightens the contrast and keeps the rug visually light despite its rich color.

That balance of negative space and floral detail is quintessential Arts and Crafts, offering a tailored look with enough ornament to soften a room. Ideal for a formal living area, library, or dining room, this antique Irish rug pairs especially well with wood furnishings, linen upholstery, and interiors that favor structure, craftsmanship, and muted natural color.

Sourced from the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this vintage rug exemplifies the gallery's passion for preserving remarkable carpets of enduring beauty. DLB offers a diverse selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs, accommodating collectors and designers across every style and budget.
