About the Item
Vintage Irish Donegal Botanical Rug in Soft Earth Tones Doris Leslie Blau
Size: 11'10" × 14'9" (360 × 449 cm)
Evoking the serene spirit of early 20th-century Irish craftsmanship, this vintage Donegal rug is a graceful example of the region’s famed weaving tradition. Woven circa 1930, the rug exemplifies the subtle elegance and artistic vision for which Donegal carpets are celebrated. Its soft botanical theme blends seamlessly into a minimalist design language, making it a unique bridge between Arts
Crafts movement ideals and modern aesthetics.
The rug’s field features meandering, delicate floral vines rendered in a nearly monochromatic palette of taupe, stone grey, and muted rust. Subtle outlines in soft amber trace the elegant arcs of blooming stems and flower baskets, emerging gently from the finely knotted wool surface like ghostly silhouettes. The restrained composition draws the eye to the quality of craftsmanship—every loop and knot executed with precision, ensuring lasting texture and beauty.
Despite its size, the design retains an airy, understated quality that allows it to anchor a space without overwhelming it. The pattern reads almost like a sketch in wool, a muted tapestry of organic lines that offers visual interest while remaining serene and unobtrusive.
This rare Donegal carpet would be an exceptional choice for collectors or interior designers seeking an authentic vintage piece with timeless sophistication. Its subdued color palette and refined artistry make it ideal for interiors ranging from traditional to contemporary, adding a quiet depth and tactile warmth to any room.
This piece from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection, exemplifies superior artistry and tradition. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
