Authentic Kilkenny Design Workshops (DKW) textile wall hanging, made in Ireland, featuring a striking stylized depiction of Saint Patrick. This rare piece dates to the 1970s–1980s, during the golden era of Kilkenny Design, when Irish craft was reimagined for modern collectors.
This large-format wall hanging blends Irish heritage, religious symbolism, and mid-century modern design. The Saint Patrick motif is far less common than Celtic knot or landscape designs, making this a rare collector’s textile.
This piece is oversized, culturally significant, and it represents both a decorative statement and a heritage investment.
Highlights:
• Authentic Kilkenny Design Workshops textile, made in Ireland
• Rare Saint Patrick motif, culturally and spiritually significant
• Large format: 50” × 18” for dramatic wall display
• Linen-cotton-viscose blend with original DKW tag
• Mounted on wooden rods with orange hanging cord
• Minor wear consistent with age – adds character
• Perfect for collectors of Irish textiles, ecclesiastical art, or vintage décor
There’s a small area at the top edge that may have been reinforced or previously held a gallery or care tag. It’s subtle and consistent with age and display history.
A true conversation piece that embodies Ireland’s design renaissance. Ideal for gallery walls, heritage-inspired interiors, or anyone seeking a meaningful connection to Irish culture.
