Gogarty Irish Woven Blanket | Family Crest Tartan Throw

The Gogarty name — O’Gogartaigh in Irish — is a Gaelic Irish surname found in County Meath and the east midlands of Ireland, the family part of the native Irish community of the Leinster borderlands. The name is associated with the ancient territory of Bregia, the fertile plains of Meath that were among the most contested and most historically significant landscapes in all of early Ireland, home to the Hill of Tara and the great royal sites of the early Gaelic world. This Irish woven blanket features the Gogarty family crest against the Irish National Tartan, honouring a name with deep Meath roots.

History & Heritage

The most celebrated bearer of the Gogarty name is Oliver St John Gogarty — the physician, senator, author, and wit who was one of the most colourful figures of the Irish Literary Revival. A close associate of W. B. Yeats and James Joyce — who immortalised him as Buck Mulligan in Ulysses — Gogarty embodied the brilliant, irreverent spirit of early twentieth-century Dublin intellectual life. The Gogarty name itself, however, reaches back far further, rooted in the Meath Gaelic world of the east midlands, a family whose history predates the Literary Revival by many centuries.

Craftsmanship

This is a woven blanket — the Gogarty family crest and the Irish National Tartan created within the cotton textile during weaving, not printed onto the surface. The design is part of the cloth from the beginning: consistent woven depth on both sides, a soft and substantial feel from the premium cotton yarn, and traditional fringed edges completing the piece correctly.
