It’s a new curation from the European rug collection by Rug & Kilim, and a particularly rare choice in kind.

On the Design:

Donegal rugs were often custom pieces in their time, and thus their choices of pattern and color were as rare then as they are today. This particular piece enjoys burnt orange and rust tones, and keen eyes will admire how the weaver used the two tones in the field to create a beautifully subtle pattern. Furthermore, this lends a beautiful depth to the piece in the way it plays with the more borders and accentuates their more present colors and details.

Connoisseurs and designers alike will admire this as an extremely collectible masterpiece—one full of smart subtlety and bold choices alike. It’s both a quintessential Donegal carpet in their celebrated distinctions and a masterpiece in the rare balance of a regal and comfortable look.

Condition:

This antique Arts & Crafts rug further enjoys good condition for its age and origin. less
