British & Irish Arts and Crafts carpet weaving emerged in the late 19th century as part of the broader Arts and Crafts Movement. Influenced by both Western designs from the medieval and Renaissance periods along with elements from Eastern weavings, artisans such as William Morris focused on creating handwoven carpets with intricate patterns and natural motifs. Often woven by hand using natural wools, these works were designed for both functionality and for their decorative quality, celebrating the beauty of handmade work in an era of rapid industrialization.

This contemporary example, creatively woven in lustrous wool, draws from the design characteristics of Arts & Crafts pioneers Gavin Morton and Charles Voysey. It features a bold all-over floral drawing, its palette rendered in a fresh variety of natural vegetable-dyed wools. With a vivid sky-blue field and a highly creative and well-proportioned border accented in sage green, the motifs within are rendered in shades of ochre, amber, and ivory, accented with subtle tones of salmon-pink and terracotta red.

In excellent condition for everyday use.

A tasteful work with the versatility to complement a variety of settings.
