The Collection: Behind The Scenes With The Donegal Carpet

For this week’s virtual visit, we’ll be looking again at the Donegal carpet in the dining room. The original Donegal carpet is in the Craftsman Farms collection, but it’s just too fragile to be out on display. So the carpet we see in the Log House is a careful reproduction of the original.

Rug maker Del Martin made three exact reproduction carpets, after carefully researching the original.  Here are some photos of the reproductions in progress:

Hope you enjoyed our peek behind the scenes making the reproduction of the Donegal carpet! Don’t miss our other featured pieces from our collection!
