Donegal Arts and Crafts Carpet
-
Description
Gavin Morton and G.K. Robertson are known for their high quality hand-knotted carpets. Production of these carpets were originally established in County Donegal, Northwest Ireland and spurred an industry that created an economic boon for the region. The design of this carpet was inspired by Turkish prototypes, the medieval revivalist aesthetics of William Morris, and typical Celtic motifs.
