The Exhibition of Irish carpets, organised by length the decorations, here illustrated, which he
Messrs. Liberty at the
Grafton Gallery, introduced
to London the products
of an industry recently
established in Donegal-
These Irish carpets possess
technical qualities identical
with those of the old-
fashioned Turkish and
Persian rugs and carpets.
Like their Eastern proto-
types, they are hand woven
and hand tufted, and they
display an individuality
which no power loom could
produce. Their many ad-
mirable artistic and tech-
nical qualities should soon
secure for them the wide
popularity they undoubt-
edly deserve.
