Burke Irish Heritage Woven Blanket | de Burgo Family Crest Tartan Throw

Burke — from the Norman de Burgo — is one of the great surnames of Ireland. The de Burghs came to Ireland with the Norman invasion and swiftly became one of the most powerful families in the island’s history, establishing themselves as Lords of Connacht and intermarrying so deeply with Gaelic Ireland that they became, as the old saying goes, ‘more Irish than the Irish themselves’. By the time the name had evolved to Burke, it was as fully Irish as any name in the country.

This woven blanket carries that extraordinary heritage into the home. The Irish tartan is built on the loom with the care such a lineage deserves — pattern and structure becoming one through the process of weaving itself. There is no surface layer, no print that can fade. The design is the cloth.

The cotton yarn is selected for the quality of its twist and the clarity it gives to the pattern across the finished surface. The fringe at each end forms naturally as the weave concludes — the honest ending of a piece that has been made with complete intention from the first thread to the last.

• Premium cotton yarn
• Woven, not printed — pattern runs through the full textile
• Available in 52"×37", 60"×50", and 80"×60"
• Fringed edges — a natural finish to the woven structure
• Machine wash cold, tumble dry low

For the Burke family — a gift worthy of one of Ireland’s most storied names. Every blanket in this collection is held to the same standard; the name changes, the quality does not.
