Flood Irish Woven Blanket | Family Crest Tartan Throw

The Flood name is one of those Irish surnames with a deceptively simple English form concealing a Gaelic origin. Mac Maoltuile in Irish — son of the devotee of the flood or tide — the Flood families were a Gaelic Irish family found principally in County Kilkenny and the surrounding Leinster counties, their name anglicised in the form most natural to English speakers. The Floods became part of the established Irish gentry over the centuries, their name carried across the Kilkenny and Leinster landscape and eventually through the Irish diaspora worldwide. This Irish woven blanket features the Flood family crest against the rich tones of the Irish National Tartan.

History & Heritage

The Flood name is associated with County Kilkenny and the broader Leinster region, where Gaelic and Norman-Irish families lived side by side for centuries in one of Ireland's most culturally layered provinces. The Floods appear in the Irish record as a family of some local standing, their name found in the records of Kilkenny and the surrounding area through the early modern period. Henry Flood, the eighteenth-century Irish statesman and orator who was one of the leading figures of the Irish Parliament, was among the most distinguished bearers of this name — a reminder of the family's long presence in the Leinster Gaelic-Irish world.

Craftsmanship

This blanket is woven, not printed. The Flood family crest and the Irish National Tartan are formed within the cotton textile during weaving — part of the cloth structure from the start, giving consistent woven depth and detail on both sides. Premium cotton yarn, a soft and substantial feel, and traditional fringed edges complete the piece as a genuinely woven heritage item.
